The GOP’s once sure-fire odds to retain their Senate majority in the midterms are looking bleaker every day, but according to a new report from Politico, some in the party are plotting a “coup” that could save them from a complete wipeout: flipping John Fetterman, the increasingly ostracized Democratic senator. Fetterman was first elected to the Senate from Pennsylvania in 2022, besting the Trump-backed Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and helping Democrats defy the odds and grow their majority in the chamber. Initially styling himself as a working-class progressive champion, he has since made a major shift away from his own party, voicing support for various initiatives and nominees from President Donald Trump and breaking the Democratic minority on several key votes.
They’re not going to be shocked because they are rigging it in their favor. I think it’s the libs who are going to be shocked this November when there is blatant cheating and no one in power puts up a fuss. It’s not like the Republicans have never stolen an election with the permission of the Democrats before (2000 and 2024 to name two).
Oh sure but his support has atrophied and he is a toxic brand. They will struggle to win safe states let alone borderline states. These attempts to cheat may well end up angering his supporters even more.
You are still assuming that he actually has to win anything. He could straight up cancel elections and no one would do anything except huff and puff a bit. The Supreme Court and Congress are both controlled by his people and they would back him all the way, regardless of how illegal it is. He has no concerns about “the people” either. We have shown him how toothless and apathetic we are. And besides that, he has the backing of the Epstein class and all of their money.
