John Fetterman just dropped this huge hint that he’s running for President
There may be no more unlikely Presidential candidate than John Fetterman.
But Democrats no longer seem to have a hang up about running impaired candidates.
And John Fetterman just dropped this huge hint that he’s running for President. Fetterman campaigned for the Senate as a Bernie Sanders acolyte.
No one could get to Fetterman’s Left.
But at the end of his first year in office, Fetterman’s executing a pivot and it looks like he has 2028 on his mind.
In an interview with POLITICO, Fetterman attacked the Left for siding with Hamas and condemning Israel as genocidal oppressors.
Fetterman explained that Hamas was the cause of the war in Israel and that the Palestinians incurred civilian casualties because Hamas embedded itself within the civilian population.
“I grieve, and it’s awful the incredible civilian deaths and the suffering. It’s awful. War is hell, as they say. But only one side has used civilians as human shields. Only one side has broken the cease-fires. Only one side will systematically rape, torture and mutilate Israeli women and girls in the most unspeakable, awful ways. […] Without destroying Hamas, there will be no enduring peace and a stable, two-state solution,” Fetterman stated. Fetterman even passed on the chance to take a swipe at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is one of the top boogeymen on the hard Left.
“I don’t have a vote in that. That’s for the Israeli citizens. They have much more at stake. But what I can say [is] I believe that an overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens would want a senator standing with them and their right to destroy Hamas [and not] somebody that would splinter or peel away when things continue and as more and more antisemitism continues to go across college campuses, across our nation,” Fetterman added.
It wasn’t just in foreign policy where Fetterman sought to chart a middle ground.
Fetterman also chided Democrats for thinking any discussion of border security was racist, and admitted it was a crisis that in one month, more illegal aliens than live in the city of Pittsburgh crossed the border.
“I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border,” Fetterman told POLITICO. “It’s a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage.” “Honestly, it’s astonishing. And this isn’t a Fox News kind of statistic. This is the government’s,” Fetterman continued. “You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border.”
Fetterman looks like he’s making a bet that the woke Left will have long since worn out their welcome by 2028 and the American people will want a Democrat Party that’s returned to sanity.
A politician’s words and actions tell you what their plans really are.
Earlier this year Fetterman traveled to Iowa.
No politician just randomly travels to Iowa.
Politicians who want to run for President trek to Iowa.
And in the interview with POLITICO, Fetterman did not disavow a 2028 Presidential campaign when given the chance.
“Fundamentally, about politics, you never get high on your own supply. And I’m not thinking about 2028. I am only making sure to prioritize 2024,” Fetterman said of a potential 2028 campaign.
