John Fetterman is the lone Democrat to vote with Republicans on the motion to proceed on Pete Hegseth's nomination as SecDef.

At this point, Fetterman's just begging to get primaried big time in 2028. And by that time, Trump won't be running for office to bail him out (as much as he'd like to try anyways)

I don't want to be the one here arguing for a primary challenger for Fetterman but if it were to happen that he'd get primaried out of office, I'd prefer it be Conor Lamb. He wasn't my choice in the 2022 Democratic Senate Primary Race but Lamb is remarkably intelligent and very good on the issues even if there are areas of disagreement I have with him. He's also still quite young compared to Fetterman at the age of 40.

That said, I'd wait and see what happens. We have the 2026 midterms so Fetterman may change his instincts if he sees the 2026 midterm election results for Democrats in PA are more favorable than he imagined.
