Sen. Fetterman said his home state of Pennsylvania will size up Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris and conclude the “choice is obvious.”
Appearing on Newsmax, Fetterman said, “I think if you match up Trump with Harris, and I think that’s what this is really about, and I do believe he’s going to win Pennsylvania.”
“And I do believe it’s going to be close, but whether it’s Biden, whether it was Clinton, or whether it was with Vice President Harris, I think it’s going to be very close.”
Since choosing Tim Walz as her running mate, Harris has been under fire from some Democrats who believed that Pennsylvania Gov. Joshua Shapiro would have faired better.
However, Fetterman suggested that Shapiro would overshadow a Harris administration.
Watch
Meanwhile, Republicans have accused Harris of nixing a run with Shapiro over his Jewish heritage.
Sen. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, cited outbursts by anti-Israel progressives who claimed Shapiro ould give the Jewish nation a direct line to the White House.
Harris’Harris’s avoidance of the media is becoming harder to maintain as Democrats like Sen. Fetterman offer more criticism.
There is also the fallout from controversy surrounding Walz’s “stolen valor” by running for Congress in 2005 on a military title that had been rescinded.
According to recent polls, Harris has a narrow margin in Pennsylvania, averaging a 1% lead, according to FiveThirtyEight.
