Democrats are trying to force out Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) like they pushed out former President Joe Biden. Their orchestrated campaign against a senator is a carbon copy of last year’s leaks and pressure against a president, only this time it is sooner and less subtle.

For the last few weeks, there’s been a steady flow of stories from former Fetterman staffers divulging damaging details about Pennsylvania’s senior, and now, only Democratic, senator.

Fetterman is a striking figure personally — tall, bald and raw-boned, he looks like a mixed martial arts fighter in his signature hoodie. He has been no less of a fighter politically. Having battled back from a stroke, he won a close race (just under a 5 percent margin) for his seat in 2022; even in office, he has had health scares.

When Fetterman ran, and even early on in his Senate tenure, Democrats stood with him (in 2023, the Senate Majority Leader even relaxed floor rules for Fetterman). Now, they are clearly moving away with an increasingly loud whispering campaign.

Sound familiar? It should. Democrats did the same to their sitting president less than a year ago.
