Story summary

President Donald Trump encouraged Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania to switch parties and become a Republican during a press conference at Joint Base Andrews. Trump stated he would "love" to see Fetterman join the GOP, citing polls that show Fetterman performs better as a Republican than a Democrat. This comment came amid speculation about Fetterman's political future following his repeated breaks with Democrats on issues like Iran and immigration. With midterms approaching, switching parties could significantly impact control of Congress; Democrats would need to secure five additional Senate seats if Fetterman were to defect, making their path more challenging.
