He elaborated that even if he wanted to switch, he&rsquo;d be an unpopular Republican.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not gonna happen. &hellip; And even if I wanted to do that, that is a rocket sled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=Palookaville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Palookaville<\/a> to try to switch. I would make a pretty bad Republican,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman told the outlet that he has assured Democratic leadership privately that he has no intentions of leaving the party despite any disagreements he may have.<\/p>\n<p>Coming into office as a progressive darling, Fetterman has won some fans among Republicans for his ardent pro-Israel stance and willingness to break with his party on issues such as immigration and policing. He became the first Democratic senator to travel to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump before he took office, where the president called him &ldquo;impressive.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Fetterman has remained a loyal Democrat.
