Someone’s not getting re-elected.
Unless Dr. Oz runs against him again.
He's not winning the primary.
I think even Dr. Oz would have a shot there.
I think he wants a shot at the governor's office. The Senate seems to cramp his style, and he doesn't have the chops for national politics. He was Lt Gov, and has a significant advantage in name recognition and fundraising as a current Senator. Plus, the DNC is probably already vetting primary challengers to run against him in 2030.
PA is a weird state, in every way possible, and Shapiro did a lot of damage to his image in his attempt to land the VP job. If Shapiro decides not to run for reelection, the Democrats don't have a deep bench in Pennsylvania. Austin Davis is probably the only other name worth considering.
Fetterman would not win anything in a nationwide race, but if he can bring the Pennsyltuckians out to vote for a Democrat, he would win the state in a landslide.
Why would they? What has he done to anger them? If anything, having another Sinoma/Manchin waiting in the wings gives them more excuses why they can't do the things their constituents want them to do.
The ideal position for the democrats is controlling all 3 branches, but being unable to actually do anything their constituents want, since the desires of their constituents are mutually exclusive with those of the donor class.
Why that long?
That's when he is up for reelection. Senate terms are six years. Actually it's 2029
