I actually hoped John Fetterman would be elected the first time. I applauded his return after a set back, but, his change in priorities is astounding. He leaned into Republican politics because he wanted money for his campaigns. He literally sold his vote for money. That is what bothers me about him. It isn't that he was leaving the Democratic party, it was that he was easily corrupted by money. Basically, he deserves to me primaried.
The current challenger is an American Palestinian from Gaza. There is going to be a lot to head wind for him. He is no doubt inspired by the win in Michigan of Senator Elect Abdul El-Sayed. That is wonderful. The warning is not about the candidates, but, the methods of fear MAGAs are still ranting about when it comes to the election of the new Senator of Michigan. The MAGAs are still carrying on with hatred.
Trump is back peddling on accepting the elections of 2026. Not that he has any traction, but, he is hoping he does. That methodology of his is historic. He first goes along with the main stream and then when he finds a opportunity he pivots to benefit himself. That is common and classic Trump racketeering. Classic.
The problem is the propaganda. This ranting by Trump and his MAGAs is that they will push their fear mongering into the elections of 2028. It is time to start the primary elections of 2028 by the way. So, the MAGAs and Trump know that recognition and political dialogue begins at the end of a disastrous election.
Every primary race in 2028 should have qualified Democrats to run without fear of identity politics. They have good insight to the needs of their constituents and when it comes to federal races understand the international alliances we hold dear. The point is identity politics is a poison to this democracy and it needs to stop. When Trump and MAGAs launch into attacks on the person, it has to be countered with their history of corruption and crime. Going forward don't let candidates get away with playing with racism and religious bigotry. It is time to hold people accountable for their performance and priorities. Currently, John Fetterman is failing at both.

John Fetterman, (click here) the maverick Democratic senator who has provoked widespread anger by increasingly siding with Republicans, is to be challenged for his Pennsylvania seat by a democratic socialist candidate who is originally from Gaza.
Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, when Fetterman’s seat is up for re-election.
The move is the first sign of Fetterman’s weakened position in the party since the Democrats won back control of the Senate in last week’s US midterm elections, when the party won at least 54 of the upper chamber’s 100 seats.
The prospect of a comfortable Senate majority in effect eliminates the possibility of Fetterman’s vote being decisive, a relief to Democratic strategists who feared he could no longer be relied on for support on contentious issues....
