PA-SEN: GOP chairman considers re-election support for Fetterman if he switches parties
(The Center Square) – While the governor’s race took center stage at the conservative-backed Pennsylvania Leadership Conference over the weekend, there was another statewide Democrat’s 2028 campaign that wasn’t too far from mind.
Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Greg Rothman told The Center Square he’s spoken with several people interested in running for U.S. Senate in two years’ time, though supporting incumbent Democrat John Fetterman isn’t off the table either – as long as he switches parties.
“We're still trying to wrestle with what happens if John Fetterman switches party and becomes a Republican,” Rothman said on Saturday in an interview with The Center Square, when discussing the 2028 race.
Rothman, a state senator representing the suburbs of Harrisburg, has been at the helm of the Pennsylvania Republican Party since February 2025. He said that he has not talked to Fetterman about potentially switching parties and when asked if he thought it was a real possibility the state’s senior senator would become a Republican, he said “I don’t know.”
