Fetterman Says He’s Not Switching Parties

Despite the speculation, Fetterman has repeatedly said he has no plans to leave the Democrat Party, including in an opinion piece published in The Washington Post this week.

“Being an independent voice that works with the other side to deliver for Pennsylvanians might put me at odds with the party that I have stayed committed to and have no plans to leave — but I will continue to put the commonwealth and the country first,” Fetterman wrote.

“Plus, I’d be a terrible Republican who still votes overwhelmingly with Democrats,” he added, noting that his party has left him on issues it used to support such as siding with Israel and keeping the government fully funded and open.
