John Fetterman's support for Trump's DHS secretary has made his bad relationship with Democrats even worse:
John Fettermans support for Trumps DHS secretary has made his bad relationship with Democrats even worse: He needs to goby Sam Janesch
Published March 25, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET
When State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta lost a bitter U.S. Senate primary to then-Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in 2022, he immediately threw his support behind the Democratic nominee vowing to campaign vigorously for Fetterman, who went onto win the general election as he was recovering from a stroke.
Fetterman returned the favor two years later. Endorsing Kenyatta for state auditor general, he wrote that Kenyatta knows the hardworking men and women of PA deserve a government that works for them.
Now, after another two years, Kenyatta has joined a growing chorus of Pennsylvania Democrats who say Fetterman has not only abandoned those same constituents, but is actively doing the opposite of what he told them he would do in a divided Washington.
John promised that he was going to go to D.C. and be Democrats 51st vote. And instead hes gone to D.C. and is behaving like Donald Trumps f intern, Kenyatta told The Inquirer in an interview.
