Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman became the first Democrat Senator to launch an account on Trump’s Truth Social. He shared his first ‘truth’ and managed to tick off Democrats, Trump supporters and just about everyone in between. He called Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial and the prosecution of Hunter Biden bovine excrement, you know what we mean. He’s left posters wondering if he’s sincere or just doing what politicians do when the political winds change direction.
Here’s more.
John Fetterman is on Truth Social and it looks like he’s only going to post content that appeals to MAGA voters.

He was saying very different things about the “hush money” case 6 months ago.

Many posters, especially those that lean Democrat, are already writing him off. They say he’s going to become a full-blown Republican before the next election cycle revs up.
Here’s a sampling.
Dude is changing parties by the end of 2026

Others say he’s trying to appeal to Trump voters since Pennsylvania (like most of the country) is trending to the right. Some are saying it’s all about political survival, not principles.
Fetterman knows he’s really in a red state and 2028 is going to implode on those who don’t get on the Trump Train.

He’s rebranding cause he knows Pennsylvania is trending further right and he’ll be out next election if he doesn’t make a pivot

But others say, he wants to have it both ways. Basically, he’ll stay a Democrat, but run as a moderate.
Take a look.
I think he is figuring out how he wants to be positioned in the Senate. I have always thought he didn’t really fit the ilk of the Democrats but his thinking lean’s that way. But he’s open minded enough to see when something is not right. I agree with your analysis, I think we…

As expected, many Trump voters are saying don’t fall for it. We’ll have to wait and see how Fetterman weathers this. As a Senator, he’s not up for reelection until 2028. That’s a long time for him to figure it all out and tick off everybody while doing it.
