John Fetterman Hits Back At Rumors That He's Planning To Leave The Democratic Party
HuffPost
The Pennsylvania senator visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has moved to dispel concerns that he is planning on leaving the Democratic Party while Republicans are now fully in control of the federal government.
In an interview with Semafor on Monday evening, Fetterman called the rumors circulating on social media “amateur hour shit.”
The senator explained that he has no plans to follow in the footsteps of former Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) or Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), who switched their party affiliation, registering as independents.
“It’s not gonna happen,” Fetterman said. “And even if I wanted to do that, that is a rocket sled to Palookaville to try to switch. I would make a pretty bad Republican.”
While many of his fellow party members have criticized President Donald Trump, with some even skipping his inauguration ceremony, Fetterman visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, becoming the first known Democrat to meet with him following his November victory.
