Even though Fetterman's term runs until 2028, Dems are already lining up for the seat.

Check out the approval numbers...Fetterman's more popular with Repubs than with Dems. He went from 80% approval ratings with Dems to 33% in eighteen months. His low approval rating among Dems makes it seem unlikely he will run for the seat again.
