Thune says GOP would welcome Fetterman if he leaves the Democratic Party

Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated on Tuesday that Republicans would welcome Senator John Fetterman into their caucus should the lawmaker decide to leave the Democratic Party. Thune confirmed that the GOP would welcome Fetterman, specifically mentioning the possibility of a shift due to increasing hostility toward Israel among progressive Democrats. While Thune has not spoken with Fetterman recently, he affirmed that Republicans would be open to the senator joining their Senate GOP conference.
