Overview
- Axios reports that Reps. Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio and former Rep. Conor Lamb are positioning for a potential 2028 primary against Sen. John Fetterman.
- Fetterman dismissed the reporting with a text saying, "Enjoy your clickbait!" and later shared data showing he voted with Trump 6% of the time, compared with Boyle’s nearly 14%.
- At a NewsNation town hall, Fetterman said Trump voters are not fascists or Nazis and urged a lower political temperature after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
- He was one of just two Democrats to back a Republican-supported stopgap funding measure to keep the government open, underscoring his independence on key votes.
- A September Quinnipiac poll found most Pennsylvania Democrats disapprove of his job performance, even as he maintains broader statewide popularity and rejects speculation about switching parties.
