30. I live in Pittsburgh and I voted for Fetterman in 2022, I even donated to his campaign
Mon Apr 27, 2026, 07:44 AM
Monday

Almost everyone I know is a Dem or else independent-who-votes-Dem. However I do have a few personal friends who vote R because they're active in my German Mannerchor club. Once in a while I have conversations with these R's but we keep it friendly (always).

This one R friend just told me last week that he heard the rumor that Fetterman would probably run as an R in the next election. I laughed and said "No way! The Democrats are totally disgusted with him, and the Republicans don't want him either. His career is done."

The best thing Fetterman can do is resign now, this year. The 2nd best thing he can do is resign next year before he tries to run for re-election. If he has any advisors left working for him, they are probably telling him the same thing.

The TRUTH about John Fetterman is that he USED TO BE a very progressive Democrat, and he did good things as mayor of Braddock. Even as our former Lt. Governor under Tom Wolf, Fetterman did good things for our party and for Pennsylvania. It's only been since Chump was re-elected that John Fetterman has had his arm twisted into voting and advocating for Chump's policies. I believe Fetterman is being blackmailed by Chump or someone close to the Oval Office.
