Fetterman Sets Record Straight on Speculation He May Switch Parties

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said speculation he might become a Republican is “amateur-hour s---.”

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has dismissed speculation that he may switch parties as “amateur-hour s---,” according to Semafor. The Pennsylvania senator’s recent Mar-a-Lago trip to dine with Donald Trump, willingness to work across the aisle on the Laken Riley Act, and his friendships with Republicans, such as Sen. Katie Britt, have fueled the speculation about his future in the party. But Fetterman said his loyalties are still with his party, emphasizing that he would not defect like fellow Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema, who changed affiliation near the end of their senatorial careers. Fetterman, noted for his casual dress, continued, “I would make a pretty bad Republican.”
