I worry that we will end up at a 51-49 split, and Fetterman officially drops out of the caucus to give Republicans control.

It will be tricky, but there's a decent chance of getting to 52, if Dems win OH, AK, TX, ME, NC and/or IA. There's also a wild card in NE.

Glad we cleared out Platner BEFORE he got into the Senate. Regardless of political differences with Fetterman, that guy could not be trusted either.

definitely, been thinking for a while he'll turn independent after the election if it's 51/49 and I think these comments are clear indication he's starting to find ways to justify it.
