To the undecided voters in the 2022 PA US Senate Elections that have concerns about Fetterman. [View all]

Fetterman will replaced by a Democrat if he has to resign during the middle of his US Senate term.

Governor Josh Shapiro will pick Fetterman’s successor who then has to run in a November special election.

Exactly 20 years ago, US Senator Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash while campaigning for another US Senate term. The MN DFL party replaced Wellstone’s name on the November General Election ballot with 1984 Democratic Presidential Nominee Walter Mondale.
If PA laws are similar to MN, PA Democratic Party can convince Fetterman to dropout and replace his name on the November General Election ballot with Ed Rendell or Tom Wolf will then have to run again in a November 2023/2024 special election.
