A former Wall Street CEO sporting tailored suits and a tattooed politician uniformed in Carhartt hoodies and gym shorts don’t seem like a natural political pair. But Pennsylvania Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman have forged a rare bipartisan partnership in a divided Congress.
The Republican and Democrat from a politically important purple state represent one of only three split states by party in the Senate. They have sponsored bills and booked joint media appearances in recent months.
“We’re very, very good friends, and we get along, and we always try to find ways to work together,” Fetterman told NOTUS. “Pennsylvania deserves that. And you know, we both realize that we don’t just represent our respective base. We represent all 13 million Pennsylvanians, and that’s why we find ways to work together.”
