John Fetterman Predicts Who Will Win Pennsylvania

Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has doubts Vice President Kamala Harris can win Pennsylvania in November, predicting former President Donald Trump has always had it in the bag.

Since announcing his run for the 2024 presidential election, Trump has maintained the advantage in Pennsylvania, while President Joe Biden and now-Democratic nominee Kamala Harris have struggled to remain above water in the state.

Fetterman argued that Trump would secure the Keystone state's vote, regardless of whether the nominee was Biden, Harris, or another Democrat—and polls agree.

“I think if you match up Trump and Harris… and I do believe he’s going to win in Pennsylvania, and of course, it’s going to be close, but I’ve been maintaining that whether it’s Biden, whether it was Clinton or whether it’s now with Vice President Harris,” Fetterman told Newsmax. “It’s going to be very close.”

According to Real Clear Polling, Trump is ahead 48.4 percent to Harris’ 46.6 percent. Bloomberg/Morning Consult also shows that the 45th president is trending ahead of Harris by four percentage points (50 to 46 percent).

In addition, a Hill/Emerson survey found that Trump leads Harris to 48 to 46 percent.

A Fabrizio Lee & Associates poll, which was paid for by Scott Presler’s Early Vote Action political action committee, found that Trump and Harris are tied at 48 percent. However, it is worth pointing out that 41 percent of those Pennsylvania voters lean more Democrat than the rest of the state.

“This poll shows that Pennsylvania is up for grabs,” Presler told the New York Post. “It also means that Biden is deeply unpopular, and Republicans would be wise to tie Harris to the failures of his administration, namely the border, wars, and the economy.”

In 2020 the dem gov of PA sent out over a million no-excuse mail-in ballots even though the state constitution bans NEMI ballots!!! That’s how brazen the cheating is in PA.

Probably how Fetterman won. Dr. Oz lost to that? If Clooney or Oprah ran against Trump what makes their celebrity more popular then Oz?

What is really frightening here is that John Fetterman has become the voice of reason within the Democrat party. He apparently has a clarity that no other Democrat seems able to muster.

John Fetterman has moved into the space once occupied by Joe Manchin, mostly by default.

Who is this Fetterman guy? What happened to the hoodie-wearing, depressed Senator? He went into the hospital and came out a very different fellow.

Quite frankly, I’m starting to like Fetterman way more than I could’ve ever liked Oz.

Trump should be making it clear in his rallys that Fetterman is someone he can work with. I also want to see Trump and Kemp play noce for a few months. I think it would be a huge boost to have Kemp on the stage at a debate. Huge

Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020. I have no doubt that was by cheating - see my tagline.

But I think Fetterman won his seat legitimately in 2022. Suburban PA areas that had Trump signs out in 2020 had Fetterman signs out in 2022.

Oz was all wrong for Pennsylvania. And his buffoonish campaign ads only made him look worse.

The fraud, cheating and corruption will be 10x what 2020 was, and once again, the GOPe-ers will do nothing.

Yes Biden won by malfeasance.

Fetterman won easily and legitimately.

Oz was a flat out POS. Absolutely worst candidate I have ever seen run for statewide election as a Republican in this state.

They wasted over a 100 Million trying to spitshine that turf, and cost the GOP countless house races where that money would have made a difference.

I have stated both of these countless times and I was attacked brutally through the 2022 cycle for telling the truth about Oz and Fetterman by folks on this site.

Sadly too many sheep just swallowed the BS fed other by morons like Hannity and the other RNC parrots throughout that entire cycle and refused to listen to anyone on the ground in PA who knew what they were talking about.
