Published | Video Starts at 05:19

Senator Fetterman, it's sometimes suggested that you have become so alienated from the Democratic Party that under the right circumstances, you might switch to the Republican Party in the Senate. Is that something you would ever consider? I would never change my party. And you know, if a Democrat's angry that I'm gonna call trash trash. And if it happens to be a Democrat, yeah, that's trash. And that's entirely what Graham Platner is. (05:19–05:22)
