Fetterman says he’ll still caucus with Democrats after video appearance at GOP midterm convention
Fetterman said he is a lifelong Democrat and vowed to work with McCormick and Trump to protect Pennsylvania’s steel industry.
- On Wednesday, Senator John Fetterman appeared via video at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, introducing Republican Sen. Dave McCormick and pledging to collaborate on protecting Pennsylvania's steel industry.
- Following the appearance, Fetterman released a statement calling himself a lifelong Democrat who votes overwhelmingly with his party, reiterating he would still be the 51st vote if the Senate flips in November.
- Pennsylvania Democrats immediately denounced the move, with former Rep. Conor Lamb comparing the video to a "North Korean newscast" and Rep. Chris Deluzio predicting Fetterman would lose his seat in 2028.
- Progressive Rep. Summer Lee stated voters are "ready to see him out the door in 2028," highlighting deepening friction within the Pennsylvania Democratic party over Fetterman's bipartisan strategy.
- The incident occurs amid existing reports of Fetterman's work habits and clashes with Democratic colleagues; despite the $174,000 annual salary and scrutiny, the senator maintains commitment to his Democratic caucus duties.
