Senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick: Bipartisanship, Money in DC, Datacenters, Graham Platner
"The entire Democratic Party, including myself, we were so wrong about the filibuster. In my cycle in 2020, Every single Democrat identified, we have to eliminate the filibuster. And thank God, thank God we had people that stood there, whether it's Senator Manchin or Senator Sinema, you know, history has vindicated their wisdom to do that thing."
Senator John Fetterman publicly reversed his position on eliminating the Senate filibuster, acknowledging Democrats were wrong in 2020 and crediting Manchin and Sinema for blocking efforts to end it. He argued the filibuster forces bipartisan cooperation and protects minority rights, stating it's a 'hill he would die on' to defend.
