John Fetterman is facing this scary choice that could change his life forever
John Fetterman is looking at a fork in the road.
Fetterman’s fate is also intertwined with that of the Democrat Party.
And John Fetterman is facing this scary choice that could change his life forever.
John Fetterman looking at a 2028 Presidential campaign
The Democrat Party is a rudderless ship.
Joe Biden is senile and a failed President.
The voters didn’t just reject Kamala Harris in the November 5 election, Americans also repudiated the Barack Obama version of the Democrat Party that represented cultural, media, financial and foreign policy elites on the coast while trying to impose a woke agenda on Middle America.
In 2028, Democrats will have their most wide open Presidential nominating contest since 1988, where there is no obvious favorite.
Every ambitious Democrat is trying to figure out how to position themselves to run for President four years from now.
POLITICO identified Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman as one such contender.
Fetterman won election to the Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022, even though he was a Bernie Sanders socialist and a trust fund baby by dressing up in the costume of the proletariat.
Fetterman was always seen in his trademark hoodie and goatee to give the impression he just got off a shift at the steel mill and was headed down to the local dive bar to throw back a fee and yak about the Steelers’ chances on Sunday.
It appears that Fetterman is trying an updated version of that playbook if he runs for President in 2028.
Fetterman won’t budge ideologically.
Fetterman declared defending transgender surgeries for children a red line for him.
But Fetterman just wants to appear moderate and reasonable.
Fetterman was the first Democrat to take a meeting with Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense.
“He could theoretically become the head of the Defense Department,” Fetterman said of why he took the meeting with Hegseth.
Fetterman wants voters to think he’s open minded and bi-partisan.
“I’ve discovered in my time in D.C. that that’s important. And, ‘Are you having a conversation with someone?’ I don’t know why that’s shocking,” Fetterman added.
“I mean I’m waiting,” Fetterman said when asked if he would support Hegseth’s nomination. “And I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to have a conversation.”
Fetterman also wanted voters to see him as not a kneejerk anti-Trump partisan by announcing he would vote to confirm Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee to serve as Ambassador to the United Nations.
“Always was a hard YES for @EliseStefanik but it was a pleasure to have a conversation,” Fetterman wrote on X.
“I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the @UN accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views,” Fetterman added.
Fetterman also signed up for Truth Social, where his first post called Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump garbage and supported a pardon.
“My first truth The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bull****, and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman wrote.
“Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman concluded.
Fetterman thinks he has a read of the tea leaves coming out of the 2024 election.
And his eyes are already on 2028.
