The Pennsylvania affiliate of the Working Families Party has launched a website, PrimaryFetterman.com, as part of its campaign to unseat Senator John Fetterman. The website accuses Fetterman of betraying the party by supporting Trump nominees and missing votes. Fetterman, elected in 2022 and not up for reelection until 2028, has also drawn criticism for breaking with Democrats on issues such as advocating for “extreme” stances like abolishing ICE and supporting potential military action in Iran. The Working Families Party aims to train potential candidates, recruit volunteers, and solicit donations to achieve their goal.

A new report indicates former allies of Senator John Fetterman are actively working to unseat him in 2028, launching a website with opposition research and a donation refund option. The Working Families Party, which previously supported Fetterman, is leading this effort, citing his votes and alleged abandonment of progressive values. Potential primary challengers like Representatives Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio have already begun criticizing him, with some even calling him “Trump’s favorite Democrat”. Despite Fetterman’s dismissal of the claims and defense of his voting record, internal sources suggest he may not seek re-election due to his dislike of D.C. politics and political isolation.

Despite Senator John Fetterman’s re-election not being until 2028, the Working Families Party has launched a website, PrimaryFetterman.com, to facilitate a primary challenge against him. The website will serve as a hub for opposition research, volunteer recruitment, and donation refund requests. The progressive group, which previously supported Fetterman, initiated the unseating effort in November, generating hundreds of sign-ups from potential candidates and donors. This push is fueled by Fetterman’s shift toward the right on certain issues, which has caused him to lose support from previous allies and staff.

The Pennsylvania Working Families Party has declared its intention to challenge Senator John Fetterman in the 2028 election. The decision comes after Fetterman’s vote in favor of a Republican budget bill, which the party argues will negatively impact working Pennsylvanians by potentially removing healthcare. The party, citing Fetterman’s consistent votes with Republicans, has labeled him a “Trump-enabling corporate Democrat.” Although the party supported Fetterman in the 2022 Senate race, they now plan to recruit and support a primary challenger, and will be holding candidate trainings throughout Pennsylvania.
