Fetterman's Take on Trump and Pennsylvania Voters Is Bad News for Kamala Harris



Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. John Fetterman continues to be a thorn in his party’s side from time to time. This is one of those times. And Kamala Harris and her campaign staff would be wise to listen to him. At issue for the mercurial senator is Donald Trump’s relationship with some Keystone State voters, and how they now see the former president — and it’s not good news at all for Kamala.

Fetterman not only said Trump has a special hold on his state; he also suggested the hold has grown stronger as a result of the first assassination attempt, which happened in Butler, Pa.

Trump has created a special kind of a hold … and he’s remade the party and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania,  and I think that only deepened after that first assassination attempt.

And as is often the case in elections, Fetterman said voter “anger on the ground,” which is likely primarily among blue-collar workers, will also be a factor in the state’s election.

I also want people to understand … there’s energy and there’s kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania, and people are very committed and strong. Trump is going to be strong and … we have to respect that.

Fetterman refused to bite when he was asked if he planned to give any advice to Harris.

I’m not going to sit down with a sitting vice president and tell her or say ‘Hey, no, no you better.’ I’m certainly not going to mansplain that [to] the vice president, and she’s perfectly capable.

Oops. Fetterman was on a good roll, but Harris is “perfectly capable”? At what? 

Flip-flopping like pancakes on a hot griddle? Word salads? Refusing to directly answer direct questions about her policies and the failures of the disastrous Biden-Harris administration? Avoiding interviews and press conferences with real journalists asking hard questions? 

The list goes on, but the notion that Harris is perfectly capable of running an honest campaign, much less serving as president of the United States, is laughable — and scary as hell.

Recent polling in Pennsylvania is all over the proverbial map. Harris is up, “here,” Trump is up, “there,” and the numbers change daily. The bottom line seems to be a toss-up in the Keystone State, the election results of which could very well decide the election.

It’s All About the Economy, Stupid

As concerns about the state of the economy and inflation continue across the country, with roughly eight out of 10 registered voters (81 percent) saying the economy will be very important to their vote in the election, nowhere is it more important than in Pennsylvania. 

The Trump campaign believes it can pull away some Black and Latino voters from Harris by appealing to minority voters who are socially conservative and worry about the state of the economy.

Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 over Trump by 1.2 percentage points, while Trump carried the state by less than one percentage point over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

We’re all tired of hearing it, but it’s almost always the case; Pennsylvania will come down to voter turnout.
