Democrats barely even noticed Pennsylvania's John Fetterman was running for Senate in 2016. Six years later, he is the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination in one of the country’s most important Senate races.
“I saw the PAC ad that is currently running in Pennsylvania. It is wrong and it is disgusting. And if Conor Lamb wants to stand up as a Democrat, then he needs to disavow that ad today,” Warren said in an interview on Wednesday.
Almost everyone in the Democratic caucus is staying neutral in the Pennsylvania primary, but there’s plenty of warmth for Fetterman and few concerns that he’d be a weaker general election candidate than his rivals. That’s a 180-degree turn from the state’s last open primary, when party bosses endorsed and spent big for establishment favorite Katie McGinty, while Fetterman came in third. Sen., then the DSCC chief, recalled this week that he didn’t look closely at the Fetterman campaign.
Republicans argue that Fetterman is too liberal to win this fall’s general election against the winner of a GOP field that includes business executive David McCormick and TV surgeon Mehmet Oz. Yet asked if he’d be comfortable with Fetterman as the nominee, Peters replied confidently: “I would be, certainly.”
Fetterman described his campaign’s relationship with the DSCC this time around as “good” and said he has spoken with Peters and Warren. He heaped praise onto both of them, calling Warren “just a luminary in the Democratic Party” and said he admires Peters for “not only his politics, but just how he makes it work in a state like Michigan.”
