Pennsylvania Democrat Says He ‘Might’ Challenge Fetterman in 2028
Deluzio said he is focused on 2026 races but has not ruled out a 2028 primary challenge after criticism of Fetterman’s work ethic.
- Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-PA, said on Sunday he is considering a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA, following growing intraparty criticism regarding the senator's work ethic and commitment to office.
- Deluzio recently stated Fetterman "has no sense of duty" after a Sept. 3 Wall Street Journal article alleged the senator skipped a meeting with veterans to appear on Fox News.
- Fetterman voted in line with President Trump's position 28 percent of the time last year, the highest rate among Senate Democrats, while critics argue he is "not up for the high office he was elected to."
- "I'm focused on doing what we can do right now to win," Deluzio said, adding he will "deal with 2028 when we get past" the midterm elections, while Fetterman previously pledged he would "never" leave the Democratic Party.
- While Deluzio campaigns for a third term in Pennsylvania's congressional district, the FettermanStaff account recently emerged threatening to publicize the senator's internal communications, deepening intraparty fallout within the Democratic Party.
