Pennsylvania Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman will host their first joint public event in Pittsburgh this Saturday, but not everyone is pleased with the Democratic senator's bipartisan show of support for his Republican colleagues' new book. An activist group, Mondays Without McCormick Pittsburgh, is planning a protest with Indivisible Pittsburgh this Saturday, urging both Pennsylvania senators to listen to their concerned constituents and host a town hall. Meanwhile, Fetterman's 2022 Democratic primary contender, former Rep. Conor Lamb, piled on the accusations against the Democratic senator in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer, questioning where Fetterman has been during President

A Pennsylvania Democrat has called for Senator John Fetterman to resign, citing his growing alignment with the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. In a guest editorial published by PennLive on March 22, Matt Roan, chair of the Cumberland County Democratic Party, criticized the senator from Pennsylvania for what he described as an abandonment of Democratic values. Newsweek contacted Fetterman for comment via email on Monday. Why It Matters Fetterman's efforts to work with Republicans, including being the first Senate Democrat to meet Trump after his election victory, follow his break with progressives on issues such as support for Israel

The ever-volatile stock market bounced Monday as investors once again tilted toward the notion President Donald Trump’s tariffs won’t be quite as bad as first thought, with the latest rally led by the big technology stocks worst hit by the tariff-related market pullback, including Tesla, which had its best day on Wall Street in more than four months. The S&P 500 rose 1.7% by late Monday afternoon, hitting its highest level since March 7. The U.S. equity benchmark is now up 4% from its six-month intraday low set March 13, though it remains 6% below its all-time high recorded in

After Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed the size of their recent political rally in Denver, Colorado, a data expert and entrepreneur raised doubts about the size and supposed grassroots nature of the crowd. (Snip) According to GPS, there were only 20,189 devices at the rally, meaning the crowd size appeared to be smaller than what Sanders had claimed. Seruga said that “84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests,” while “31% had attended over 20.” He added that beyond GPS data, he looked

ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff came home to Atlanta Saturday to rally core Democrats desperate for effective action now against President Donald Trump’s administration. “Georgia will bow to no king!” Ossoff proclaimed at the end of a 20-minute speech that labeled Trump as corrupt, out of touch with the problems of regular people, and “trying to poison our democracy with fear and intimidation.” “Atlanta, this is not a drill. Atlanta, this is not a bad dream,” said Ossoff, who could be the Republicans’ No. 1 Democratic target in the 2026 elections. “As citizens, this is the test of our

WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role. Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor

Democrats overwhelmingly selected former Vice President Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate in a Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came in second with 10% support. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all

When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) took the stage at the annual Gridiron Club dinner Saturday night, he mockingly made mention of the thing Democrats have been buzzing about for months: his presidential ambitions. “If I actually wanted to be president, I wouldn’t do any of this,” Moore said. “Instead, I would take my case directly to the people who are in charge of our democracy: the Kremlin.” (Snip) “Wes Moore is the Captain America of Democratic politics,” said Jamal Simmons, a prominent party strategist who worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a veteran, an athlete and a

Congressional Democrats — who were hoping to blast Republicans over budget cuts — instead took incoming from their exasperated constituents when they traveled home to host town halls. In Arizona, Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly were confronted at a joint forum Monday by an attendee demanding to know if they “would support removing” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Oregon, an audience member told Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Janelle Bynum on Sunday that he is “so p----- off right now at the leadership in the United States Senate that they are not willing to step up and fight.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy call Tuesday to an immediate pause in strikes against energy and infrastructure targets in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the U.S. administration is pressing for. The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting. The White House added negotiations would “begin immediately” in the Middle East on

Senate Democrats are bracing for a painful post-mortem as they try to avoid a September rerun of their latest government funding defeat. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and nine of his members helped get a House GOP-authored government funding bill to the finish line, saying a vote to advance legislation they loathed was the least bad option. The alternative, they argued, was allowing a shutdown that could empower President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to accelerate their slashing of the federal bureaucracy. (Snip) Schumer’s strategy exposed major fissures within the party, marking for many of his members a disappointing

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) for criticizing recent Democratic party tactics. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper confronted Crockett about the widely-mocked “Choose Your Fighter” TikTok video — which was slammed by Fetterman as “bizarre.” (Snip) “He’s not the one to talk about anything,” Crockett said. “I mean, this is a guy that doesn’t seemingly want to own a suit. own a suit, I’m not really sure. But I don’t show up in hoodies when I’m going on the floor.” The Texas congresswoman defended the video — in which six
