Deep dives

John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania

is a unique and compelling political figure. He has been the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and previously served as the mayor of Braddock, a struggling steel town. Fetterman's appearance, standing at six feet nine inches tall and often seen in a sweatshirt and shorts, sets him apart and resonates with voters. His victory in the Democratic primary by a wide margin demonstrated his appeal to voters. Fetterman is not easily pigeonholed into a specific ideological category. He has campaigned for candidates across the progressive spectrum, from Bernie Sanders to Joe Biden. While he may not align with all progressive policy positions, he focuses on practical solutions and issues that resonate with Pennsylvania voters. Fetterman's authenticity and genuine connection with voters have helped him build a strong base of support. The success of his grassroots campaign raises questions about the future of Democratic strategy and the importance of trustworthiness and relatability in politics.
