🇺🇸 - Trump Praises Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, Says He’d Love Him As A Republican President Trump called Democratic Sen. John Fetterman a “great guy” with “great common sense” and said he would welcome the Pennsylvania senator into the Republican Party. Speaking to reporters Saturday night after stepping off Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Trump said he had spoken with Fetterman’s parents and described them as “magnificent.” He added that Fetterman is a “very solid person” who is “smart and all that, but he’s got great common sense.” Trump pointed to polling and said Fetterman “does better as a Republican than he does as a Democrat.” He also noted it will be hard for Fetterman to get the Democratic nomination and that he would “love to have him as a Republican.” Fetterman has broken with many Democrats on issues including immigration and Iran while still voting with his party most of the time.

🇺🇸 - Pollster Frank Luntz Says 2026 Midterms Come Down To Turnout Frank Luntz appeared on CNN and pushed back on the idea of a guaranteed blue wave. He said pollsters got burned in 2024 by making projections the numbers never supported. Polls can explain what is happening, he argued, but they should not be treated as predictions. Right now the race is about turnout. Luntz said Democrats are more eager to vote and see 2026 as the start of the next cycle. Some Republicans, he said, are frustrated or angry enough that they may stay home. He pointed to Maine as one example. If Republicans show up, Susan Collins gets reelected. If enough of them sit it out, the seat becomes vulnerable. Luntz’s bottom line: if every voter turned out, Republicans could still hold the Senate. Among the people who are definitely voting no matter what, Democrats currently hold a narrow edge. The interview is circulating as voters weigh how much the current polling actually means.
