A new report has found that some Republicans are quietly trying to persuade Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania to leave the Democratic Party as the GOP looks for ways to protect its Senate majority.
Politico's Jonathan Martin reported this week that President Donald Trump has personally encouraged the effort, offering Fetterman his "total and complete endorsement" and the prospect of major financial support if the Pennsylvania Democrat were to run as a Republican. Fetterman reportedly rejected the idea, saying, "I'm not changing" and "I'm a Democrat and I'm staying one."
