"I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there are kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania — and people are very committed and strong."
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has said that after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Bulter, Pennsylvania rally in July, he has a "special place" with voters in the state as a result. This comes after the president was targeted again in a second assassination attempt earlier this week.
Fetterman made the comment during a conversation with the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg on Thursday. "Trump has created a special kind of hold within the coronet he’s remade – the party – and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania, and I think that only deepened after the first assassination attempt," Fetterman told Goldberg, per Fox News.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, a would-be assassin attempted to shoot Trump dead on July 13 in Butler. He was able to evade security due to several failures with the Secret Service and took several shots at Trump, hitting the GOP nominee once in his ear. Other bullets flew past Trump, with one killing Corey Comperatore and two other audience members, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, getting critically injured.
Fetterman added in his comments, "I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there are kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania — and people are very committed and strong." The Democratic Senator added that he joked that Trump's "signs became like the state flower – and you see that everywhere."
Although polls have indicated that Harris may have a slight lead over Trump, Fetterman expressed doubts about the results in his comments and compared the situation between Trump and Harris to the GOP nominee's 2016 race against Hillary Clinton.
Clinton had a seven-point lead in the Keystone state, but that fell to pieces on election night. "Everybody thought that it was in the bag, but that’s not the energy and the other kinds of things that were really consistent with what I’m witnessing all across," Fetterman added. "And then, sadly, we saw what happened."
