You know it's great for Trump if Fetterman is reading the tea leaves.
U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is no fan of former President Donald Trump, but he does not appreciate the efforts to keep leading Republican presidential contender off state ballots in 2024.
In fact, Fetterman told the Daily Beast that the attempts to keep Trump off ballots will do more harm to Democrats than good.
“I just want to just go on the record to say how incredibly unhelpful it is to have other states removing him from the ballot,” Fetterman told the website for a column published on Thursday.
“All of that is a gift to Trump,” he said, “and all it does is just make him more popular and strong. That’s just going to energize his base. It’s just not helpful.”
The Daily Beast noted that few Democratic politicians have made similar warnings about the efforts, such as the ones that removed Trump from ballots in Colorado and Maine.
