Fed-Up Democrats Plot to Run for Fetterman’s Seat

“John Fetterman’s recorded speech to the Republican midterm convention on Wednesday was the last straw for many top Pennsylvania Democrats: They don’t want the senator anywhere around for the final weeks of this intense election year, and many are already zeroing in on a possible consensus choice to run for his seat in 2028 — regardless of whether Fetterman is on the ballot,” CNN reports.

“While several potential Democratic challengers are in the mix, many party leaders are starting to look at Pittsburgh-area Rep. Chris Deluzio as the candidate who could draw support from both the orbit of popular Gov. Josh Shapiro and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ progressive wing of the party. Such broad support would be critical to win the seat in a presidential year, especially if Fetterman runs for reelection, whether as a Democrat, independent or even Republican.”
