EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are quietly exploring whether Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) could be pulled away from the Democrats, as tensions between the Pennsylvania lawmaker and his own party continue to surface.
According to a report, GOP officials believe that even if Republicans were to lose several Senate seats in November, flipping Fetterman could help them maintain control of the chamber.
President Trump has reportedly made a direct pitch, offering his full endorsement along with potential financial backing if Fetterman were to switch sides.
At the same time, several Senate Republicans have begun engaging with Fetterman more informally, testing whether he might be open to distancing himself from Democrats.
Despite the outreach, Fetterman publicly pushed back.
“I’m not changing,” he said.
“I’m a Democrat, and I’m staying one.”
