With tattoos and the looks of a WWE body double, Pennsylvania Lieutenant
Governor John Fetterman isn’t your average politician. He says that will
help win over working class Trump voters in his bid to flip an open
Senate seat in 2022, but he’s facing resistance from fellow Democrats
who think the party should pick the most progressive candidate possible
— not another white man with Rust Belt appeal. POLITICO’s Holly
Otterbein reports on how the race has become an inflection point in the
party. Plus, Speaker Pelosi says she won’t bring progressive “court
packing” legislation to the floor. And House Minority Leader McCarthy
meets with scandal-ridden Congressman Matt Gaetz.
