(15,265 posts)for Senate in 2022. There was speculation he run for gov in 2022, but he's not doing that either, rather just. retiring from public life.
If Lt Gov Fetterman runs as rumor has it, Dems would pick up this seat.
Trump motivated the huge R/rw/cultist turnout this year. That kind of turnout probably won't ever be repeated and Dems can claw back some of what they lost in PA this year.
