John Fetterman made this stunning announcement about switching parties
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is at the center of speculation swirling around Washington.
Fetterman finally addressed the rumors heads on.
And John Fetterman made this stunning announcement about switching parties.
Former New Jersey State Assemblyman and Robert F. Kennedy advisor Jamel Holley set off a frenzy on social media by claiming sources informed a key Democrat Senator was on the verge of switching parties to the GOP.
Just left a conversation and my source indicated to me that a key Democratic senator is expected to change party affiliation to Republican by next week. Wow!

The speculation immediately centered on Senator John Fetterman (D-PA).
Fetterman is up for re-election in 2028 in a state where the GOP sliced the Democrat Party registration advantage from 600,000 to 200,000 the last four years.
Ever since the election, Fetterman has been acting strangely.
Fetterman was the first Democrat to meet with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and told reporters he was open to Trump’s idea of acquiring Greenland.
Fetterman also cosponsored the Laken Riley Act and loudly denounced the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party.
And Fetterman was the first Democrat to meet with Trump cabinet nominees like Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard.
Semafor interviewed Fetterman and brought up the gossip flying around social media that he would leave the Democrat Party and become a Republican.
Fetterman rejected the idea of switching parties out of hand.
“That’s amateur hour s***,” Fetterman declared.
Fetterman then said he would never be a clone of Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin and become an independent but caucus with a party.
“If they think, ‘oh, it’s going to be like a Manchin or a Sinema play,’ that’s just not true, and that’s not going to happen,” Fetterman stated.
Fetterman also admitted that party switchers never fared well, as someone more established in their new party would often challenge them in a primary and defeat them, while adding that if he did become a Republican, he would be the most left-wing Republican in the caucus.
“It’s not gonna happen,” Fetterman added. “And even if I wanted to do that, that is a rocket sled to Palookaville to try to switch. I would make a pretty bad Republican.”
John Fetterman is just acting as a centrist.
Fetterman supports eliminating the filibuster, which would allow Democrats to pack the Supreme Court, the end result of which would be the elimination of the Second Amendment.
Fetterman also supports amnesty for illegal aliens and transgender surgeries for minor children.
There is no real issue of any actual substance where Fetterman supports the conservative position.
But John Fetterman thinks some token gestures of virtue signaling to conservatives at the right time will save his re-election campaign three years from now.
