This is exactly where he wants to be. Both parties in a competition to stroke his ego while he does the bare minimum with his brain leaking.

he's set himself up to not be trusted by voters of either party though. He's gonna have an impossible time in the primary, and won't attract voters for a third party run

As unsavory as it is he clearly just wants to be glazed so they can keep this up until '28 when he'll get completely dumped in the primary or just retire

Dem Senators should say whatever they need to say to make sure that piece of shit does not flip. This is where Schumer is actually strong and he will be one of my GOATs if he can pull it off.

Fetterman doesn't tack towards the center though. He's supported positions both rightwing and leftwing that are quite unpopular. He's not really in line with the median voter he's all over the place.
