“There are those on the Left who feel like you have made a Rightward shift recently, going to Mar-a-Lago, joining Truth Social, your positions on issues like immigration and fracking. What do you say to those who are now, in a sense, questioning your commitment to the Democratic Party?” Hostin pressed.
Fetterman quickly shot down the idea that he was abandoning the Democratic Party.
“Rightward, that’s just – that just happened not to be true,” Fetterman responded. “I have been on record saying I am not going to become a Republican. You know, although maybe some people might be happy on one side, but I would make a pretty terrible Republican because, you know, I’m pro-choice, pro-really strong immigration, pro-LGBTQ. Just pretty, like, I don’t think I would be a good fit.”
He even joked that if he ever did switch parties, he would return to The View to break the news.
Co-host Ana Navarro noted that Fetterman met with all of Trump’s cabinet nominees, a move that raised eyebrows among his Democratic colleagues. Fetterman downplayed the significance, saying he was just doing his job by meeting with them to form an informed opinion.
While Fetterman likes to position himself as a bipartisan bridge-builder, history suggests he is still a reliable Democratic vote when it matters most. He joined every Democrat in voting against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who was ultimately confirmed by Vice President J.D. Vance’s tie-breaking vote.
However, he did support Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s confirmation—but that was an easy, unanimous 99-0 vote, hardly a political risk.
Pennsylvania remains one of the most crucial swing states in the country. Trump won it in the last election, and Fetterman’s former colleague, Democrat Bob Casey, lost his Senate seat in 2024. With his own re-election bid coming up in 2028, Fetterman appears to be making calculated moves to win over some Trump supporters.

His trip to Mar-a-Lago, joining Truth Social, and casting votes on popular bipartisan measures seem designed to build a moderate image without straying too far from Democratic orthodoxy.
Despite these efforts, Fetterman still backs key Democratic policies, proving he remains in step with his party on major issues. His willingness to occasionally break with the Left may be more about political survival than genuine ideological change.
For now, John Fetterman insists he is a loyal Democrat, but his actions suggest he’s keeping his options open as he looks toward the next election.
