    Didn’t pre-stroke Fetterman win in PA? Often he was compared to Bernie, although maybe the media got that one wrong considering what stances Fetterman leans on these days.

      He did, but my opinion as someone who voted for him: he’s really not accomplished anything, hasn’t been the same after the stroke. I’m told his impairment is simply audio/visual but in my mind his judgment is impaired.

      When he won, he was running against a clown (Dr. Oz) who only narrowly beat McCormick. (McCormick just recently defeated long-time incumbent Casey and is considered much more serious and competent.) I know many people who based their vote for Fetterman on the the issue of recreational marijuana legalization (even though he doesn’t have a role in accomplishing that at the state level as a US senator).

      Anyway, I would not expect Fetterman to be re-elected, if he even runs.
