Sens. Fetterman, McCormick find common ground in FOX Nation debate
(WHTM) — Pennsylvania's two first-term senators sat in stark contrast to each other as they shared a stage Monday, but they found common ground. Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Dave McCormick participated in FOX Nation's 'The Senate Project,' an Oxford-style debate that brings legislators together to discuss topics. The event took place in Boston. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now McCormick and Fetterman both expressed support for Nippon Steel's proposed investment in U.S. Steel. Previously, both senators were vocal about their opposition to the Japanese company's initial proposal to purchase the company. They also agreed on 'getting tough' on Russia and Iran, as well as sealing the border. Fetterman took aim at his own party for its handling of the issue. In recent days, the Democratic Senator has found himself on the receiving end of party attacks. Fetterman dismissed criticism from former staffers over missed votes in the Senate. He said he missed those votes because they were on Mondays. 'Those are travel days,' Fetterman said. 'I have three young kids, and those are throwaway procedural votes that were never determinative, or they weren't important, and that's a choice that I made. If you want to attack me for that, go ahead, but I'd like to point out that Bernie and Senator Murray missed more, so why aren't the left media yelling and demanding them or claiming they're not doing their job? Be genuine on that.' Fetterman claims media trying to 'smear' him over missed votes, absences Sen. Fetterman said he will be present to vote on President Donald Trump's spending plan. He said he is a 'likely no' because of its changes to SNAP benefits. McCormick said he will vote yes on the bill because it will root out waste, fraud and abuse. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

'Chaos,' 'unacceptable': Fetterman rips Democratic handling of border in bipartisan discussion
Both Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman and GOP Sen. Dave McCormick spoke in a bipartisan forum about the importance of border security, with Fetterman going so far as to call out his own party on the issue. "I've kind of, I've lost some support in my party. I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately," Fetterman told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream during a FOX Nation presentation of The Senate Project series on Monday. "Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that's roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that's unacceptable. And that's a national security issue. And that's chaos. So a secure border, being very pro-immigration, that's who I am as a Democrat." Fetterman, who drew the ire of many Democrats when he supported the Laken Riley Act, explained how he has been at "odds with his base" but his values have "never changed" on the immigration issue, which polling shows was a key factor in President Donald Trump's election victory in November. Musk's Departure Marks New Chapter For Government Efficiency In Border Security "We are going to disagree and vote on different things," Fetterman said. "But for me, it's about trying to find the things we can win together and deliver those kinds of wins for Pennsylvania and ultimately for America." Read On The Fox News App Fetterman bucked his own party at multiple points in the discussion with McCormick, including as it relates to his party's handling of antisemitism on college campuses and in the streets. Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What We Know About Illegal Immigrant Accused In Colorado Terror Attack "What happened yesterday in Boulder? It's astonishing," Fetterman said, reacting to what the FBI is calling a terrorist attack against a pro-Israel group in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend. "You know, the kinds of, the rank antisemitism, it's out of control. And for me and as my friend just pointed out, this is just rampant across all the universities for all of these places, too. I mean, we really need to call it what it is. And now and for me, politically, being very, very firmly on the side of Israel, that kind of put parts of my party at odds for that." The Senate Project series brings together sitting senators from opposing parties for civil dialogue about current political issues, with the goal of identifying solutions and bridging partisan divides. The series reflects the shared mission of the Kennedy Institute and Hatch Foundation to advance bipartisanship. "Vigorous and open dialogue is an essential part of our democracy and having these two senators from opposite sides of the aisle discuss important issues of the day is a valuable contribution to the public discourse," Kennedy Institute Chairman Bruce A. Percelay said in a statement. Fox News Digital's Paul Steinhauser contributed to this article source: 'Chaos,' 'unacceptable': Fetterman rips Democratic handling of border in bipartisan discussion
