John Fetterman (Pa.) appeared in a video praising fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick (R) at the Republican National Committee\u2019s (RNC) midterm convention Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy am I here talking to you today?\u201d Fetterman said in a prerecorded video. \u201cBecause, well, I\u2019m a commonsense Democrat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDavid McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done,\u201d he added, noting the duo would work with President Trump to help revitalize Pennsylvania\u2019s manufacturing industry while calling McCormick a \u201cfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturing jobs in the commonwealth have declined slightly during the president\u2019s second term, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data analyzed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this summer, Fetterman and McCormick teamed up to launch a joint fundraising committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetterman also said in the video that he would always \u201creject the extremes in socialism and that anti-American way of life\u201d \u2014 comments that come as democratic socialist and progressive candidates have won their Democratic primaries for the Senate and House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetterman has attracted the ire of many of his Democratic colleagues in both chambers for breaking with the party on multiple issues. The Keystone State senator has notably been the only Democrat to vote against every Senate war powers resolution seeking to force Trump to wind down the Iran war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetterman, a staunch supporter of Israel, has vocally supported the U.S. operation against the Islamic Republic on social media and during TV interviews \u2014 including on Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Fetterman voted in line with Trump\u2019s position 28 percent of the time \u2014 the most of any Senate Democrat, per data from VoteHub. The Democratic lawmaker was among a small group of Democrats to join Republicans in voting to end the record-long government shutdown last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pennsylvania senator has said he has no plans to become a Republican, but he laid out his red line for departing the Democratic Party in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf our party ever becomes \u2014 and just makes it official \u2014 the anti-Israel party, that\u2019s when I would leave,\u201d he told The Hill\u2019s Alexander Bolton at the Hill Nation Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Criticism of Fetterman ramped up among his Democratic colleagues over the weekend, after The Wall Street Journal published a story outlining the senator\u2019s alleged lack of commitment to his duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetterman pushed back on the report, telling CNN his former \u201cdisgruntled staffers\u201d are promoting \u201csmears\u201d about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Sen.
