Insiders think Fetterman wont run in 2028, doesnt enjoy the job [View all]

Progressives are already plotting a primary challenge to Sen. John Fetterman when he’s up for reelection in 2028. But whether Fetterman’s around to be primaried at all is another question.

The freshman senator seems to be leaving all doors open, insiders told NOTUS: reelection, retirement and even a long-shot run for president. Some think he’s likely to leave the Senate, which they say he doesn’t seem to enjoy much.


“I don’t think he’s running,” one former Fetterman staffer told NOTUS. “He didn’t like the job, he missed home, and now is a pariah within the party. I think he wants no part of being in D.C.”

When NOTUS asked Fetterman whether he’ll run for reelection, he replied: “It’s 2025.”

When NOTUS asked if he’d be interested in running for president, Fetterman replied: “It’s 2025.”
