Fetterman Angers Democrats With Big Trump Prediction

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.), once a darling of liberals but now a populist provocateur, has once again upset his Democratic colleagues with a blunt truth.

He confidently predicted that former President Donald Trump would win the crucial Keystone State after securing it in 2016, despite losing to Joe Biden in 2020.

Appearing on Newsmax, Fetterman said his home state voters will size up Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris and find out the choice is obvious. “I think if you match up Trump with Harris, and I think that’s what this is really about, and I do believe he’s going to win Pennsylvania. And I do believe it’s going to be close, but whether it’s Biden, whether it was Clinton, or whether it was with Vice President Harris, I think it’s going to be very close.”

WATCH:

Harris has faced criticism from certain Democrats for choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, with some believing she should have opted for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a popular first-term governor. Fetterman, among others, contributed to rumors that Shapiro’s ambitions could overshadow a Harris administration.

Meanwhile, Republicans, including Trump’s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), have claimed that Harris avoided Shapiro due to his Jewish heritage, citing concerns from anti-Israel progressives who feared that Shapiro would have undue influence over the White House.

A senior political data analyst for NBC and MSNBC has served up some new findings that will be good news for Trump’s campaign but not so much for that of Harris. Steve Kornacki looked at the electoral history of Minnesota to see if the “rural appeal” Gov. Tim Walz has been charged with bringing to the Harris campaign really exists.

Kornacki said: “It’s the suburban areas, the metropolitan areas, that have gotten much more blue and Walz performed just like Biden did, better than Clinton did, in places like this. And then in the rest of Greater Minnesota, small-town Minnesota where the Democrats have been losing ground, Walz performed basically just like Biden did. The idea that he’s got this automatic appeal, the small-town areas in those three key battleground states. You don’t see it in what he actually did on the ballot in 2022.”
