No one ever thought John Fetterman would make this move.
But Fetterman had a surprise up his sleeve.
And John Fetterman dropped one huge hint about running for president.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
There is a saying in politics that every senator sees the next President of the United States when he wakes up in the morning.
It now looks like that applies to Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman.
Democrats changed their nominating calendar this year to bump Iowa out of the leadoff spot to move states with a higher percentage of black voters to the front of the line in an attempt to head off a potential primary challenge to Joe Biden.
But any time a politician announces a trip to states like Iowa or New Hampshire every political insider’s antenna perks up.
That’s exactly what happened when John Fetterman announced he would keynote the Iowa Democrat Party’s Liberty and Justice celebration.
From PA to IA and beyond, Democrats win by taking our message to the voters – all voters.
That's what "Every County, Every Vote" is all about. https://t.co/s9qnLsv1xw

Win, lose or draw in 2024, the Democrat Party is going to need a new nominee in 2028.
Kamala Harris would be the natural next-in-line due to her position as Joe Biden’s vice president.
But no serious Democrat believes Harris could win a general election.
Harris failed miserably as Joe Biden’s border czar and she comes off as the aunt who tries to act cool but has no idea how cringe she comes across as.
The potential challengers include Governors Gavin Newsom of California, New Jersey’s Phil Murphy, Illinois’ J.B. Pritzker and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer.
No one would have figured Fetterman as presidential timber.
But Democrats got away with nominating an 80-year-old man in severe cognitive decline in 2020 because voters made their choice based on “vibes” – meaning if they liked the candidate or not.
Fetterman looks to be seriously cognitively impaired following the near-fatal stroke he suffered last May.
And Fetterman is a radical leftist in the Bernie Sanders mode.
However, no one can win the White House without carrying Pennsylvania and other industrial midwestern states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
That’s why Fetterman plays dress-up like a dive bar regular to give himself the “every man” appearance.
In reality, Fetterman was born with a silver spoon in his mouth as he lived off his parents’ allowance until his late 40s and attended Harvard.
On the surface, the idea of John Fetterman as a serious presidential candidate sounds ridiculous.
But Fetterman seems intent on dipping his toe in the water.
