Shapiro says Fetterman should 'honor' will of Pa. voters and not switch to GOP
Shapiro said Fetterman should honor Pennsylvania voters and stay with Democrats as reports say Republicans have courted him for 2028 support.
- On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro publicly urged Sen. John Fetterman to 'honor' the will of voters who elected him as a Democrat, amid growing speculation the senator could switch parties.
- President Donald Trump and GOP officials have quietly sought to persuade Fetterman to switch parties, offering 'our full support' and 'more money than he ever dreamed of' if he abandoned Democrats.
- Writing in a Washington Post op-ed on Thursday, Fetterman asserted he has 'no plans to leave' the Democratic Party, despite voting with Republicans roughly 26% of the time during 2025.
- Progressive organizers and the Monroe County Democratic Party denounced Fetterman as a 'traitor' earlier this week, calling for him to be primaried following his breaks with party orthodoxy.
- A potential party switch could reshape Senate arithmetic ahead of the 2026 midterms, affecting Democratic control and forcing the party to alter vetting strategies for the 2028 primary field.
