Pennsylvania is one of only three states — along with Maine and Wisconsin — with a split U.S. Senate delegation.
Pennsylvania's senators John Fetterman and David McCormick and their spouses recently broke bread, as shown in this photo shared by Fetterman on the social media site X.WASHINGTON — After Sen. Dave McCormick announced his run against longtime Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in September of 2023, Sen. John Fetterman described the Republican former hedge fund CEO as a “rich dude” who likely will “try to buy a seat in the Senate .
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., speaks with reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024. The bipartisan vibe was also reflected on the Senate floor Thursday, when Fetterman and McCormick voted together in favor of advancing a Republican-led immigration enforcement and crime-related bill — marking the first of likely many occasions they will join forces on a host of issues impacting Pennsylvanians and Americans at large.
“It can be such a powerful combination when you have two senators of different parties rowing in the same direction,” he added. “What we’re seeing so far, I think, is very positive. It’s very apparent that both are beyond the campaign and they’re looking to governing, and looking to their futures.” The commonwealth is also unique in that its now-senior senator, Fetterman, has only been in office for two years — marking an unusually short gap between a senior and freshman senator from the same state.
Fetterman told reporters last week at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg that he and McCormick had already met for dinner in Pittsburgh, had a “great discussion” and will work together as they both “want a better Pennsylvania.” Nicholas, who worked on several of Specter’s campaigns, said a big question remaining is “what’s going to happen six months from now — some calamity or new wrinkle on the immigration issue, where Trump wants to do his mass deportation and how that plays out.”
He noted that even his pick for vice president, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, publicly said Trump “didn’t deliver” on his promises during his first administration.
