WATCH: Sen. John Fetterman Tells New York Times Trump Has “Special Connection” With People Of Pennsylvania, “It’s Astonishing”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is going viral for his comments to The New York Times in a newly-released interview.

“You’ve said that Trump has a special connection with the people of Pennsylvania,” The New York Times said.

“100%,” Fetterman responded.

“Anybody who spends time driving around, and you can see the intensity. It’s astonishing,” he continued.

“I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. There was a superstore of Trump stuff and it was 100 feet long,” he added.

“Something very special exists there,” he said.

The Democratic senator also said he thinks Elon Musk’s endorsement of Trump will make a difference in the battleground state.

Fox News reports:

Fetterman said he believes Musk, who endorsed Trump and appeared with him at a rally at the site of the first assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, will be appealing to voters in Pennsylvania.

“And now [Elon] Musk is joining him,” Fetterman said. “I mean, to a lot of people, that’s Tony Stark. That’s the world’s richest guy. And he’s obviously, and undeniably, a brilliant guy, and he’s saying, Hey, that’s my guy for president. That’s going to really matter.”

Fetterman said he was “alarmed” when Musk began showing up on the campaign trail for Trump and said he’s a “bigger star than Trump” in “some sense.”

“Endorsements, they’re really not meaningful often, but this one is, I think,” Fetterman said. “That has me concerned.”

Fetterman told the New York Times that he does not believe the 2024 election will come down to “a certain policy” but will instead come down to the “stark choice” between Harris and Trump.

“It’s visceral,” Fetterman said. “And that’s why the people that are left that haven’t made up their decision are going, you know, what do I want for the next four years? And I do believe enough people will choose Harris. But it’s going to be much, much closer than anyone would want.”
