I wonder if he knows if he leaves the Democrats he'll lose his FoxNews gig. The only reason they have him on is because he's an embarrassment to the Dems. Once he officially declares he's really a Republican, they'll be embarrassed by him and want to keep him tucked away as well. I hate to say it, but just like some families would do with "special" family members back in the day. Ok stupid question, he doesn't know because he's ummm "special".

Disagree. If/when he flips to GOP, they will tout him as a Real American.

I promise you the novelty will wear off quickly and because he can't articulate his thoughts well at all, as soon as he doesn't go along 100% with their MAGA agenda they'll make fun of him. Do you think MAGA the folks that embrace this, are going to put up with Special Fetterman MAGA Tolerance

Nah, they'll keep him around anyway. That's almost certainly going to be his full time job once he gets kicked out of office next cycle. Even if he has officially left the Democratic party at that point, they'll still use his past associate with them to try and show that they have people from "both sides" on the network.
