15. Pretty sure it will be Connor Lamb for 2028.

As it should have been in the first place. Fetterman was pushed as a true progressive and frankly has failed miserably. And no...it is not just about his stroke.

Even AOC:
AOC trades barbs with Fetterman, apologizes to Conor Lamb

“I was wrong about you and I’m sorry,” the post from Ocasio-Cortez directed at Lamb reads. “Where do I submit my Conor Lamb apology form.”

Lamb replied to AOC’s apology in the thread:

“No need — clearly we have been on the same side of the oligarchy question (against) and protecting Social Security and Medicare (for) …. let’s make that team as big as possible. Good luck on the road,” his reply reads.

AOC then replied again:

“Amen. Thank you for all you do and let’s go get ‘em ❤️,” she wrote.

Conor Lamb is stepping back into the political spotlight

From a makeshift stage at the Pittsburgh Mennonite Church in Swissvale, former Congressman Conor Lamb spent hours on an April evening listening to residents voice concerns about the direction the federal government was headed.

Mr. Lamb was filling the seat that should have been reserved for the state’s sitting U.S. senators, Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Dave McCormick. But the organizers with Indivisible Pittsburgh, a local chapter of the nationwide organization that has been protesting President Donald Trump, couldn’t get in touch with them.

So organizer Dana Kellerman and her team decided instead of having a town hall where constituents voiced their concerns to empty chairs, they would reach out to Mr. Lamb.
