Does John Fetterman mean this as a threat, or is it a kind of present that he’ll give Democrats if they go ahead and change Senate leadership? Listen and see what you can discern.

This is definitely a point of view that is worth following as the Schumer – Van Hollen race begins to heat up. Surely Fetterman is not suggesting that Van Hollen is some kind of a flaming radical leftist?
One thing that is interesting is that months ago when it was suggested that the Democrats could take back the Senate, it was assumed that if we did we would squeak by. It was also assumed that we would have to court John Fetterman to get him to vote the party line.
Now there’s a comfortable margin in the Senate and Fetterman is to all intents rendered irrelevant. Keep that fact in mind as the months go by and Fetterman keeps weighing in on the Van Hollen issue.
