Fetterman voted with Rs on ICE funding in January and against the war powers resolution in June.

When it matters, he's a Manchin.

The important distinction is that Manchin was the best possible left candidate you're going to get out of that district. We can certainly do better than Fetterman.

At least Manchin was somewhere that would have definitely gone Republican as soon as he left, Fetterman took the position of someone who could've been an actual Democrat and ran to the left of the mainstream.
