Fetterman RNC appearance stuns Democrats
投稿者: Flint: John Fetterman
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) walked into the RNC and praised President Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick, and Democrats are furious about it. He came out fast to say he's staying a Democrat. Even so, that RNC moment is the most aggressive step he's taken toward the GOP. Here's the thing: he still votes with his party most of the time, so flipping would take a massive shift in how he votes. He's also likely to face a primary challenge in 2028, and Democrats might not back him if he does. FOX NEWS carried the surprise video. Major chaos inside the party.

Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes in socialism and that anti-American way of life. Dave McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done, and he's going to fight for I'M PROUD TO COUNT HIM AS MY FRIEND. I'M PROUD TO COUNT HIM AS MY FRIEND. I HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THIS GREAT AMERICAN, A GREAT SENATOR, AND YES, HE'S IN A DIFFERENT PARTY, BUT I'M PROUD TO COUNT HIM AS MY GREAT FRIEND. SO FOR EVERYBODY IN DALLAS, I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE DAVE MCCORMICK. THAT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. DESPITE PLENTY OF HOPE AMONG REPUBLICANS AND CERTAINLY SOME I'M A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT WHO VOTES OVERWHELMINGLY WITH MY PARTY AND SHOULD THE SENATE FLIP IN NOVEMBER, I WILL STILL BE THE 51st VOTE THAT I RAN ON. SO IN OTHER WORDS, NO TO THOSE WHO THINK HE MIGHT FLIP.
