Axios wrote an article overnight about how Democrats in Pennsylvania are very unhappy with Senator John Fetterman and are planning to primary him in hopes of ousting him from the Senate.
Here’s what they wrote:
Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.
Democrats haven’t flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He’s still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.
Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman — and each other — years ahead of schedule.
Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a Senate bid in the event he retires.
They asked Fetterman about this and his response is hilarious:
When Axios began reporting on this story, Fetterman texted, “Enjoy your clickbait!”
Asked a follow-up question, Fetterman said, “Please do not contact.”
Fetterman later shared an article about a report from a conservative group showing that he is among “the least Trump-aligned Democratic lawmakers” in Pennsylvania, voting with the president 6% of the time. He highlighted that the analysis showed Boyle voting with Trump nearly 14% of the time.
“ACTUAL NUMBERS,” Fetterman said. “less clicks.”
Enjoy your clickbait. Haha! Fetterman is very savvy and just conservative enough to annoy the hell out of his own party. When he runs again in 2028, I think his victory won’t even be close in the Democrat primary.
