“Politics War Room” James Carville and Al Hunt speculated on whether Sen. John Fetterman<\/a>, D-Penn., may switch parties and throw Democrats\u2019 Senate plans in disarray.<\/p>\n

As Carville and Hunt took questions<\/a> from listeners, one asked why Fetterman, who has been known for taking surprisingly bipartisan stances, doesn\u2019t just go all the way and switch parties.<\/p>\n

“I am not a big Fetterman fan,”<\/a> Carville said, declaring he thinks Fetterman is often motivated by wanting to see his name featured in newspapers. “He may switch, because they are going to correctly say if he wants to run again \u2013 I don\u2019t know, but most politicians do \u2013 he has no chance in a Democratic primary.”<\/p>\n

“If I am the Republicans, I go to Fetterman,” Carville continued. “I said, \u2018If you switch your final two years in the Senate, we will give you prime committee assignments. You will be relevant. You will be loved in here.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“And that\u2019s why I am saying the Democrats need to have a big year in the Senate, because picking up four seats may not be enough. That\u2019s a real threat.”<\/p>\n

The best scenario, Carville argued, was one where Democrats win enough Senate seats to the point where a Fetterman defection would not matter. But even so, a potential Fetterman defection may shake up Democratic plans in a closer victory.<\/p>\n

Carville went on to argue that three Senate races will reveal whether Democrats are heading for a massive wave or just a narrow win, with him assuming the party will have a “monster year.”<\/p>\n

One scenario discussed was Democrats eking out a modest victory, winning just enough seats to control the chamber, in which case every single vote matters. And in that case, the possibility of someone like Fetterman switching parties becomes a real threat that could undermine their majority.<\/p>\n

“If you win all three of them, you’re going to probably pick up, you know, eight or 10 seats. If you don’t win any of them, the Fetterman nightmare could come true,” Al Hunt warned.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Fetterman and did not receive an immediate reply.<\/p>\n
