The Ultimate Betrayal: John Fetterman Is Taking Requests From Trump– www.politicususa.com

EXCERPT:
Pennsylvania Democrats are showing signs that they are done with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).
Democrats in the state feel betrayed that a senator who ran as a blue-collar progressive candidate seems to have taken the wrong lesson from the 2024 election results and assumed that Pennsylvania is moving rightward, and that he could save his Senate seat by moving in the same direction that he thought the state was going.
A July 2026 Quinnipiac University poll of Pennsylvania found that Fetterman’s approval rating is being propped up by Republicans:
Republicans (77 – 12 percent) approve of the way Fetterman is handling his job, while Democrats (69 – 19 percent) disapprove. Among independents, 48 percent disapprove of the way Fetterman is handling his job and 44 percent approve.
More than half of voters (52 percent) would like to see Fetterman leave the Democratic Party, while 31 percent would like to see him stay in the Democratic Party, with 16 percent not offering an opinion.
Quinnipiac also found that Fetterman has a 19% approval rating with Pennsylvania Democrats.
Fetterman’s rightward shift has already enraged his supporters, but new reporting finds the Democrat is taking requests from Trump.
