You would think Pennsylvania’s two US senators – John Fetterman, a Democrat, and David McCormick, a Republican – would be sworn enemies with the US Senate’s leadership up for grabs this fall. They’re not, and their unusual friendship was on full display Thursday morning at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley.
Both provided their perspectives on politics in a discussion moderated by CNN’s Erin Burnett, including their plan to create what is being called an unusual joint fundraising committee.

They agree on a lot of things, including the dangers of socialism infecting the Democratic Party, and Fetterman’s assessment during the sit-down of accused rapist and erstwhile Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as a “creep.”
Now that’s something to agree on!
