Deluzio says Democrats are "pi$$ed" at Fetterman

Pennsylvania Democrat Deluzio says he 'might' primary Fetterman in 2028 as party turns on the senator

A second-term Pennsylvania congressman is openly floating a primary challenge to Sen. John Fetterman, the latest sign that Democrats have all but given up on the first-term senator who keeps breaking with his party.

Rep. Chris Deluzio went on NewsNation's "The Hill Sunday" program and told host Chris Stirewalt that he has not ruled out running against Fetterman in the 2028 Democratic primary. The admission followed a social media post days earlier in which Deluzio accused Fetterman of failing the people who sent him to Washington.

The Hill reported that Deluzio, when asked directly about a challenge, did not shut the door:

"I might, I haven't decided that. And to be really blunt, I'm doing everything I can right now to help Democrats in Pennsylvania flip congressional seats to give Josh Shapiro a governing majority in the state Senate and grow the majority in the state House."

That answer, "I might", is as close to a declaration of intent as a sitting congressman can offer without filing paperwork. Deluzio framed his immediate focus as the midterms, but left 2028 wide open.

Democrats can't wait to get rid of a sensible guy.

Democrats want to stop Data Center Construction - China First, says Fetterman

Fetterman breaks with his party on AI, warns U.S. retreat hands China the advantage

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman sided with President Trump on aggressive AI development over the weekend, rejecting calls from fellow Democrats to slow down, and warning that every delay benefits Beijing.

Fetterman posted on X on Saturday, sharing a Bloomberg analysis that examined the narrowing U.S. lead over China in artificial intelligence and the faster pace at which Chinese companies are deploying advanced models. His message was blunt: stop panicking about data centers and start competing. Fox News Digital reported that the Democrat dismissed what he called "AI doomsdaying" and accused critics of playing into China's hands.

The senator framed the stakes in national-security terms:

"AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security. China continues to fuel and benefit from our overreaction. I reject the political pandering and hyperbole over data centers or AI doomsdaying."

That puts Fetterman squarely on the same side as the White House, and miles from the progressive wing of his own party, which wants to freeze data center construction altogether. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez want a moratorium; Fetterman calls it "China First"

The split inside the Democratic caucus is not new, but it is widening. On March 25, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood at the U.S. Capitol to announce the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, a proposal to halt new facility construction across the country. Fetterman responded by labeling the moratorium push "China First", a deliberate inversion of the progressive framing.

Earlier this month, when reports surfaced that Sanders was eyeing a broader pause on AI development itself, Fetterman fired back again on X:

"America must lead in the development of AI, otherwise we live under China's rules. That must not happen."

Fetterman right again!

Fetterman breaks with progressive allies again, backs Trump's AI agenda and warns China gains from U.S. delay

Sen. John Fetterman is siding with the Trump administration on artificial intelligence development, rejecting calls from his own party's left flank to slow down, and warning that every delay hands China a strategic advantage.

The Pennsylvania Democrat posted on X over the weekend dismissing what he called "AI doomsdaying," sharing a Bloomberg analysis that examined the narrowing U.S. lead over China in AI and the faster pace at which Chinese companies are deploying advanced models. His message was blunt: pulling back on AI development and data center construction doesn't protect Americans, it helps Beijing.

Fox News Digital reported that Fetterman wrote on X:

"AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security. China continues to fuel and benefit from our overreaction. I reject the political pandering and hyperbole over data centers or AI doomsdaying."

That stance puts Fetterman squarely alongside President Trump, who days earlier encouraged governors and local officials at the White House to welcome AI data center construction in their communities.

It also widens the gap between Fetterman and the progressive wing of his own party, a gap that has been growing for months across multiple issues.

John Fetterman UNLEASHES HELL on Wolf Blitzer & the entire DNC live on CNN

Fetterman, Thorn in the side of some Democrats

Fetterman will not change his Party affiliation

But do the Democrats want him?

The New York Post reported that top Pennsylvania Democratic insiders have already begun maneuvering to mount a primary campaign against Fetterman in 2028, with former Rep. Conor Lamb seen as the likely challenger.

A Quinnipiac University poll showed a majority of Democratic voters disapprove of Fetterman's job performance, even though he remains broadly popular when Republican voters are included in the sample.

Fetterman himself has acknowledged the friction with his base. "Parts of my base are really angry with me, which is really strange," he said in an earlier interview. "I mean, run the numbers. I mean, I vote, I think 90%-plus Democrat... but my base, [they're] very angry about me being fully, fully, unapologetically supportive of Israel."

He has previously questioned whether Democrats have room for pro-Israel voices like his own, a question the party's activist wing has answered with growing hostility.

So the picture is this: a senator who votes with his party on the vast majority of legislation, but who has become a pariah within his own base over a handful of issues, chiefly Israel, and who responds to that rejection not by moderating but by escalating.

Calling elements of your own coalition supporters of "full-on communism" is not the language of a man trying to mend fences.

Will Fetterman become an Independent?

Carville predicts Fetterman will leave the Democratic Party: 'I don't think there's any doubt'

James Carville, the veteran Democratic operative who helped elect Bill Clinton, went on CNN Friday and said what much of Washington has been whispering for months: he expects Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania to leave the Democratic Party. Wolf Blitzer pressed Carville on the question during an on-air exchange, and Carville did not hedge.

The prediction lands at a moment when Fetterman's own words, votes, and alliances have already built a compelling case that he is halfway out the door. What remains unclear is whether the Pennsylvania senator jumps to the GOP, declares himself an independent, or simply continues to operate as a Democrat who agrees with his party less and less on the issues that matter most.

But Carville's public assessment, from a man who has spent decades inside the Democratic machine, strips away any pretense that this is just media speculation. When one of your own party's most recognizable strategists tells a national audience that a sitting senator is likely gone, the fracture is no longer theoretical.

Former Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia walked the same path, eventually leaving the party and registering as an independent.

"My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent. It's liberating."

John Fetterman calls Democrat Party "an Orgy of Socialism"

Fetterman condemns his own party's leftward lurch after New York primary results

Sen. John Fetterman called the Democratic Party "an orgy of socialism" after far-left candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept Democratic primaries in the city, ousting incumbents and defeating centrist challengers in races that have forced an uncomfortable reckoning inside the party.

Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat who has increasingly broken with his caucus, did not hold back. In a post on X dated June 24, 2026, and in a subsequent interview with Fox News, he described the winning candidates as anti-American radicals and questioned why he stands alone among Senate Democrats in refusing to defend them.

The primary results, and the reaction from figures like Fetterman and longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, expose a fault line that the party's leadership has tried to paper over for years.

The question now is whether the Democratic establishment can hold its coalition together, or whether the socialist wing has already taken the wheel.

Jews in Democrat Party have little reason for Optimism

Fetterman warns Jewish voters face a 'bleak' future inside the Democratic Party

Sen. John Fetterman stood before a Washington conference on Wednesday and delivered a blunt verdict on his own party: if he were Jewish, the Democratic Party would feel like a dead end.

The Pennsylvania Democrat, speaking at an event hosted by the Culture for Peace Institute, said the party's drift on Israel, Iran, and antisemitism has reached a point where Jewish voters have little reason for optimism, and every reason to worry.

"I'm not a member of the Jewish community, but if I was one, it would be bleak as a Jewish voter in the Democratic Party," Fetterman told attendees, as reported by Jewish Insider.

The remarks mark the latest and sharpest installment in Fetterman's running public break with his party over Middle East policy. He named names, pointed to primary results, and warned that the forces pulling Democrats away from Israel are accelerating, not slowing down.

Fetterman names the candidates he says prove his point--Fetterman did not deal in abstractions. He ticked through a roster of Democratic figures he views as evidence that anti-Israel sentiment has become a winning credential inside the party's primary electorate.

"If [Democratic voters are] willing to support these kinds of candidates across the map, look in Michigan [Abdul El-Sayed], look at the one in Maine [Graham Platner], look at New York City [Mayor Zohran Mamdani], look across the map, these are defined by how much anti-Israel rhetoric you can cram into your platform."

Platner drew the harshest fire. The Maine Democratic Senate primary winner, who prevailed on Tuesday, was called a "garbage candidate" by Fetterman, who said Platner had "full-on Nazi ink on his body." Fetterman's willingness to use that language about a fellow Democrat, at a public conference, on the record, underscores how far he has moved from the party's internal norms of polite disagreement.

Fetterman's feud with his party over Platner's candidacy has been building for weeks, and the senator showed no sign of backing down.

Two Democrats - Platner and Fetterman

Fighting it out

Platner calls Fetterman an A-hole

Maine Democratic Senate candidate calls Fetterman a profanity at town hall as party infighting escalates

Graham Platner, the progressive Democrat in Maine's Senate primary, stood before supporters in Portland on Sunday night and called Sen. John Fetterman "an a**hole", out loud, on camera, two days before voters headed to the polls.

The remark, delivered in response to a supporter's question about whom Platner would work with in Washington if elected, captured the raw state of a Democratic Party increasingly at war with itself. Platner wasn't talking about a Republican. He was talking about a fellow Democrat, one who has spent recent weeks publicly challenging Platner's fitness for office.

The exchange is the latest in a feud that has grown personal, profane, and impossible for Democratic leaders to ignore.

What Platner said, and why--

At the town hall in southern Maine, a supporter asked Platner which senators he looked forward to working with in Washington. Platner framed the Senate as a place built on relationships and said he didn't want to go to the capital and "simply be nonfunctional."

Then he went further.

"I mean, as you can all probably tell, we got a lot of criticisms about the way this government functions. But in order for us to make it functional, we're going to have to do stuff. And you can't just go down there and be John Fetterman and just and just kind of just sort of be an a**hole."

Fetterman, a man who stands alone in the Alt-Left Democrat party

Fetterman admits he feels 'lonely' as a moderate in a Democratic Party that keeps moving left

Sen. John Fetterman told Bill Maher on Friday that he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party, but that staying in it has become an increasingly isolated experience.

The Pennsylvania senator, who has broken with his caucus on a string of high-profile votes this year, described himself as "lonely" inside a party he says has abandoned its own principles on border security, government shutdowns, and the treatment of men.

The remarks, made during an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher," amount to the latest in a long sequence of public breaks between Fetterman and the progressive wing of his party.

And they raise a question Democrats seem determined not to answer: if a senator who calls himself a "committed Democrat" can't find company inside the tent, how big is the tent, really?

The Hill reported that Fetterman addressed the growing friction head-on, telling Maher he has repeatedly voted against his own caucus on matters he considers fundamental.

"I don't enjoy that, but we used to be a party that would always refuse to shut the government down, and now we, now have shut it down and dropped a lot of mass chaos, and I just couldn't be a part of that."

Fetterman wants NFL Security upgraded for the NFL Draft

Fetterman presses DHS to boost NFL draft security in Pittsburgh amid Iran conflict

Sen. John Fetterman is asking the Department of Homeland Security to raise the security designation for the 2025 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, citing the ongoing military campaign against Iran and the massive crowds expected to fill the city's open-air venues later this month.

Fetterman sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who recently replaced Kristi Noem, urging the department to upgrade the draft from a Level 3 to a Level 2 Special Event Assessment Rating, or SEAR. The Hill reported that the Pennsylvania Democrat framed the request around what he called "the changing threat environment in the wake of the war in Iran."

The draft is scheduled for April 23, 25 across multiple sites in Pittsburgh, including Point State Park, Acrisure Stadium, and the North Shore. Fetterman's letter noted that the event marks the first time since 1948 that the NFL has brought the draft to Pittsburgh, and the expected turnout reflects it.

In his letter to Mullin, Fetterman laid out the scale of the event in plain terms:
"This is the first time since 1948 that the NFL will host the Draft in Pittsburgh. It is expected to draw well over 700,000 fans to open-air events in Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium, and more than 50 million viewers are expected to tune in to watch the Draft on television or online."

Fetterman, The Stand-up Democrat

Fetterman says backing Trump on Iran has left him alone in the Democratic Party

Sen. John Fetterman went on Fox News Tuesday night and said what every honest observer already knows: Democrats have no principled reason to oppose what President Trump is doing with Iran. They're opposing it anyway.

Appearing on "Hannity," the Pennsylvania Democrat said he is "the only Democrat" fully supportive of the president's Iran campaign, which has included the operation known as Epic Fury. That support, he said, has come at a cost within his own caucus.

"I am the only Democrat like that is absolutely fully supportive of what the president has done, you know, with Epic Fury. And that's isolated me as — in my party."

Three weeks into the operation, Fetterman couldn't name a single Democratic colleague willing to publicly praise it. Not one.

The most damning part of Fetterman's argument wasn't his support for Trump. It was the contradiction he exposed in his own party. Every Democrat, he noted, has at some point declared that Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. Every recent president has said the same. None of them solved the problem.

Then one president actually dealt with it head on. And the party that spent years warning about the threat went silent.

This is the Democratic feedback loop in its purest form. Identify a danger. Demand action. Watch someone else take action. Refuse to support it because the wrong person acted. The principle was never the point. The politics were, as Breitbart reports.

Democrats - Dancing Frogs

Fetterman Was the Only Democrat to Shake Trump’s Hand at the State of the Union and What He Said Next Stunned His Party

Half the Democratic caucus couldn't even be bothered to show up for the State of the Union on Tuesday night.

They were too busy standing in 30-degree weather on the National Mall at a MoveOn rally – one that drew roughly 75 people, about half of them reporters – while Robert De Niro held court at the National Press Club down the street.

But one Democrat did something that apparently required more courage than any of them could muster – and what he told Fox News the next morning exposed exactly how far his party has fallen.

More Than 50 Democrats Boycotted the State of the Union While Fetterman Shook Trump's Hand. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania walked into the House chamber Tuesday night in a suit, greeted President Trump with a handshake, and sat down like a grown adult prepared to listen to a speech.

He believes he was the only Democrat who shook the President's hand that night. He said it doesn't matter whether a Republican or Democrat is president – you don't yell and scream and disrupt the speech of the Commander-in-Chief.

Then he dropped the line that should haunt every Democratic strategist in Washington.

"I don't think dancing frogs really moves the ball for us as a party."

Fetterman against a Two-state Solution

Sen. Fetterman says Dems getting it wrong on Israel and Palestine

But Reublicans already know that

I still remain amazed that Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has become the voice of reason for the Democrat Party. This all started over Fetterman breaking with the party over Israel when the war between Israel and Hamas first broke out.

It continues now, as Fetterman is pushing back against this huge movement in his party to recognize the Palestinian state, which would be in direct conflict with the wishes of Israel.

Dems have been pushing for this for some time, but over the last few months, they have really started to put the squeeze on. For example, in September, a group of Senate Democrats made the push to recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state.

The United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Australia were among the countries that were advocating for a two-state solution.

"Whether it's France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies are now calling for a two-state solution when Hamas refuses to disarm and are actively trying to kill Jews. I can't imagine why anybody would do that at this point,” he said.

Fetterman continues to break ranks

Fetterman Rejects Carville’s Supreme Court-Packing Proposal, Tells Democrats o ‘Win More Elections’

Democrats have shown their true colors once again—shocking absolutely no one who’s been paying attention. Following their sweep of high-profile elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City this November, party strategists are already plotting their next assault on American democracy.

The Constitution that has guided our nation for nearly 250 years apparently isn’t good enough anymore for the radical left.

James Carville, the Ragin’ Cajun himself who’s been scheming since the Clinton years, recently revealed what many conservatives have long suspected: Democrats are planning to pack the Supreme Court the moment they regain sufficient power.

This isn’t about justice or fairness—it’s about raw political control over one of our most sacred institutions. And honestly, who’s surprised? This is the same party that calls everyone fascists while trying to fundamentally restructure our government.

From ‘Daily Caller’:
“Yeah, well, when I ran for the Senate back in the ’21-’22, I rejected those things,” Fetterman said. “I strongly rejected trying to pack the Supreme Court or to change those things. You know, we were — the Democrats — it’s like, you know, you don’t change the rules if you didn’t win.”

“It’s like, win more elections and then you are able to change those dynamics the way it was designed to be in the Constitution right now,” Fetterman continued. “So, I strongly reject that.”

The senator’s simple philosophy—that parties should win elections rather than rig the system—used to be common sense across the political spectrum.

A Call for Honest Democrat Leadership Amid Division

Fetterman stands firm against Democratic shutdown tactics

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has drawn a line in the sand against his own party's push for a government shutdown. His bold stance on FNC's "Hannity" this week signals a rare fracture in Democratic unity on a deeply divisive issue.

As reported by Breitbart, Fetterman openly criticized the shutdown strategy spearheaded by congressional Democrats. He made it clear he won't toe the party line just to avoid backlash, prioritizing honesty over political expediency.

This isn't a trivial disagreement; shutdowns disrupt lives, halt essential services, and leave vulnerable citizens in the lurch. Fetterman's refusal to play along challenges the narrative that such tactics are justifiable for political leverage, even if it costs him support among the Democratic base.

Fetterman didn’t stop at rejecting the shutdown; he labeled it outright wrong. "It’s wrong to shut our government down," he stated plainly, refusing to sugarcoat the damage these maneuvers inflict on everyday Americans.

His critique isn't just rhetoric; it’s a direct challenge to the progressive playbook that often justifies disruption as a means to an end. When leaders prioritize brinkmanship over governance, it's the public that pays the price, a reality Fetterman seems acutely aware of.
