Senator John Fetterman has become known as the only sane Democrat left, and so it comes as no surprise that the rest of them want to get rid of him.
Axios reports that senior Party personnel in Pennsylvania are “plotting” to run against Fetterman in a primary prior to his bid for reelection in 2028.
SCOOP: Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation, @hollyotterbein reports. https://t.co/xsYQVyncfw

The report states:
Democrats haven’t flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He’s still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.
- Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman — and each other — years ahead of schedule.
- Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a Senate bid in the event he retires.

Imagine that. Make my day. Run a leftist in Pennsylvania, Democrats. Good Republican opportunity for a pickup in 2028!

As we have highlighted, Fetterman has persistently spoken out against establishment Democrats on multiple issues, including the government shutdown, Israel’s right to exist, and in particular the constant labelling of President Trump and his administration as ‘fascists’ and ‘Nazis.’
Fetterman would win the general election with 60% of the vote and proceed to vote with Democrats 99% of the time, but he doesn't want to exterminate the Jews and thinks it's bad to assassinate political opponents so he's a goner.

The Axios report further highlights that Fetterman still has a very positive overall approval rating in Pennsylvania, despite members of his own Party turning on him.
Yeah that sounds like Democrats "let's get rid of the one sensible guy"

Fetterman has already stated that he doesn’t intend to switch parties, but it’s entirely feasible that he could change his mind if pushed out by Democrats, or more likely run as an independent and ensure the Democrats lose a Senate seat.
They ran him when it appeared he had stroke-induced brain damage, but now that he's recovered and speaking logically and truthfully, they want him out?

Make it make sense.
Fetterman votes with Democrats on almost everything, but because he doesn’t fully submit to their chosen path of extreme leftist insanity they have decided he must go.
Well GEE whiz, if this doesn't reveal the real heart of evil democrats what does? https://t.co/FFmkz7HsGU

There’s no doubt this represents a self-inflicted wound for the Democrats that Republicans can only welcome.
Fetterman, who narrowly flipped a GOP-held seat in 2022, remains broadly popular in the Keystone State, boasting an overall approval rating above 50% and unusually strong support among Republicans—62% favorable in recent Quinnipiac polling, a stark contrast to 46% approval among Democrats.
This internal bloodletting promises to drain Democratic resources in a swing state Trump won in 2024, while Fetterman’s crossover appeal could blunt GOP attacks in a general election, making the race a prime pickup opportunity if he survives the primary.
From a Republican perspective, the chaos couldn’t be timelier: Pennsylvania’s Senate contest will coincide with the 2028 presidential battleground, amplifying national attention and spending.
A bruising Democratic primary risks nominating a more ideologically rigid candidate—likely one of the anti-Fetterman insurgents—who would struggle to replicate his Rust Belt populism and bipartisan bona fides that helped him eke out victory two cycles ago.
Fetterman’s rumored presidential ambitions add another layer of uncertainty; if he bows out or stumbles, the open seat becomes a free-for-all that favors GOP messaging on economic populism and national security.
Either way, Democrats’ intolerance for a moderate like Fetterman signals a party that is completely lost, handing Republicans a narrative gift to portray them as out-of-touch elites purging their own winners.
