Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said he will not campaign against Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) if his fellow Pennsylvania senator seeks reelection in 2030. Fetterman made clear that his friendship with McCormick would keep him from working to defeat the Republican, though he stopped short of promising an endorsement. “Well, I would absolutely never move against my friend,” Fetterman told the Washington Examiner. Fetterman called McCormick a “great guy” before repeating his position. “I would never, ever move against my friend,” he said. The pledge marks a change from the 2024 Senate race, when Fetterman backed then-Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) against…
