    Inside the Quiet Republican Effort to Flip Fetterman

    As the Pennsylvania Democrat increasingly is isolated within his own party, Republicans are quietly trying to win him over.

      I think he has, but not formally.

        According to data I was able to find, he votes with the Democrats about 75% of the time. That’s below other relatively independent senate democrats like Sherrod Brown and John Tester (85-90%) but better than Manchin and Senema who were the true outliers.

          I personally think John Fetterman is a Senator who works for the interests of the people of Pennsylvania, particularly the working people, and follows the dictates of his conscience in his position on many issues where the two parties try to draw distinctions. In today's partisan atmosphere, that risks making him anathema to his own party often enough as to risk party support at election time.

          I respect him and hope to be able to re-elect him as one of my senators when he stands on the ballot again. I think he serves as a great example of what an honest politician looks like.
