As reported by The Hill, Senators John Fetterman (D) and Dave McCormick (R) established a new political action committee called Common Ground PA, which was filed with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week. A McCormick representative told The Center Square that the PAC allows donors to support both lawmakers&#8217; campaigns. The spokesperson noted, \u201cThis group of donors values the collaboration shown by Senators McCormick and Fetterman for Pennsylvania and wants to back both of them.\u201d This development may not sit well with some Democrats, especially given Fetterman&#8217;s increasingly strained relationship with his party. Recently, after Democratic socialists ousted some longstanding Democrats in New York, Fetterman criticized what he saw as an ideological shift within his party, stating, \u201cThe Democratic Party is becoming an orgy of socialism,\u201d adding that recent elections confirmed his view. He also remarked that those being pushed out are just traditional Democrats you&#8217;d expect in New York City. His outspoken stance has led some prediction markets like Kalshi to consider whether he might leave the Democratic Party; while they assign only a 2% chance before the 2026 midterms, they see it rising to about 50\/50 by early 2028-estimating a 15% chance before April 2027 increasing to nearly half by then. Fetterman diverges from many colleagues on key issues: he opposes his party\u2019s socialist turn and is an outspoken supporter of Israel-a stance that remains controversial within Democratic ranks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2627973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ben-net-2026-07-09T230031.783.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[15467,5894,3740],"class_list":["post-2627972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fundraising","tag-politics","tag-senate"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ben-net-2026-07-09T230031.783.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2627972"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2627976,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627972\/revisions\/2627976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2627973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2627972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2627972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2627972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
