Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is expected to face a primary challenge in 2028, as discontent grows among some Democrats over his increasingly outspoken breaks with the party.

In a post on X, the Pennsylvania Working Families Party said it intends to mount a primary challenge against Fetterman in 2028, vowing to recruit a candidate who can take on the Democrat.

"We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman once again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the U.S. Senate," the post read. The party has not yet fielded a candidate.

Newsweek reached out to representatives of Fetterman via email for comment.
Why It Matters

This potential primary challenge highlights growing fractures within the Democratic Party and underscores the tension between party loyalty and progressive priorities. Fetterman’s willingness to break with Democrats on key votes, such as the recent budget bill, has fueled criticism from progressive groups like the Pennsylvania Working Families Party.

A primary challenge could force Fetterman to defend his record to the party’s base, potentially shaping the Democratic agenda in Pennsylvania and signaling how far party activists are willing to push incumbents who deviate from their policy expectations.

What To Know

Earlier this month, Fetterman broke with most of his party, joining seven other Democrats and the full Republican conference to advance a funding measure that ended the 43-day government shutdown. The bill leaves out any extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, a key sticking point in the funding fight, so they will lapse at the end of the year.

Fetterman has clashed frequently with his party over the shutdown, accusing Democratic lawmakers of causing it because they opposed voting for a bill that does not include ACA subsidies.

During the shutdown, which saw thousands of federal workers furloughed, thousands of flights canceled, and public services disrupted, Fetterman released a video declaring he would again side with Republicans to prevent a government shutdown.

>Votes to fuck over the wishes of all his voters
>"oh no why is he getting primaried???"
This is how this should fucking work. You go against what you were elected to do, you get put on a ballot to be removed. Only problem is having to wait 2-3 years; it should be fucking immediate.

Its confusing to right wing shills, because they've been programmed to think you're supposed to keep re-electing your party chosen rep no matter what.
Actually holding your reps accountable and kicking them out if they go against their constituents doesn't make sense to MAGA drones

Fetterman, RFK Jr., Joe Rogan. Why does this keep happening?

That’s Trump, anon.

Its not Trumps fault that starving kids are more likely to become child prostitutes

Who voted to end the shutdown? Who voted to keep it going?
>>
>>1459072
Dems.
Trump, meanwhile, refused to let SNAP use the funding it already had and fought in court to do so, and the BBB has enormous cuts to SNAP as well.
You can try and twist this however you want. Every narrative you have includes Trump fucking over the poor.
>>
>>1459072
Who voted to give a random selection of republican congressmen $500,000 each for the terror of having their phone records subpoena'd one time? Who voted to reban hemp, crushing a huge domestic industry and killing a fuckload of jobs?

>>1459074
>shit, I got objectively BTFO, better start lying about the fact that Republicans and Fetterman voted for a bill to fund SNAP and other Democrats voted against it
>>1459083
>shit, I got objectively BTFO, better change the subject!

I accept your concessions

esl shill is short circuiting again. somebody unplug him
>>
>>1459088
Project harder, faggot. Come back when you can argue with the points being presented and not cover your eyes and pretend they said something that lets you win.
>>
>>1459089
You'd short circuit too if you were programmed to actually believe all the slop they're paid to post
>>
>>1459054
>You go against what the party told you to do
ftfy. What he was elected to do was to look out for his voters as best as he could. Joining into this pointless game of chicken while his voters starve isn't in their best interest.
>Noooo we were making Trump look bad!
You really think he cares?
>>
>>1459054
That's exactly why Trump won the entire country
>>
esl shill sure loves pretending to be multiple people

ftfy

you're welcome

please don't poison the wells with your cum esl shill

>>1459057
you can't explain that!

Had an Army buddy who had a 4x4 fall on him during construction. Nail went right into his head. One of the crew called 9-1-1 while another got out the clips and cut the nail so he could be transported. He went to the ER and was okay, but they had to leave the nail stuck a half-inch into the top of his skull. It's still there afaik.

Anyway, after that he became a Baptist preacher and a hardcore Fundy.

That's why Trump lost in 2020.

any proof of the opposite ever happening?

>>1459052
Press 'S' to spit
>>
>>1459052
Imagine having to explain why it’s a good thing your health insurance costs 3 times as much thanks to people like Fetterman
>>
>>1459141
I'd say in that case you could at least justify it as the near-death experience renewing his faith but it's not like Fetterman's gotten more religious
>>
>>1459052
>Democrats will primary one of their only sane non-bigoted Congressmen
>Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman


Proof OP is an unamerican faggot
