"Fetterman is doing better today with Pennsylvania Republicans...The new poll found 62 percent of Republicans favored the way Fetterman is doing his job, compared to 21 percent who disapproved. That’s a sharp turn from the last poll, when 75 percent of Republicans disapproved of him and 16 percent supported him."

was littered with tacit promises. The whole story never made any sense to me. Small town progressive mayor in Pennsylvania with soaring popularity. Most of these places don't know there is a political spectrum.

I really wanted to read this article but The Hill is so full of popup ads and click-bait junk that I couldn't even read it.
So out of frustration I got the archived link, and it's much easier to read now.

Thanks for posting Duncanpup! This article doesn't mention it, but many of Fetterman's original staffers have quit since he made these Trump-favoring policy changes. I'm not sure who is working for him anymore.
