Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman<\/a> broke with fellow Democrats again Friday, criticizing what he called the party\u2019s overreliance on anti-Trump messaging and urging a shift toward a more constructive approach.<\/p>\n

“My colleagues, and people that are running, whether for the Senate or the House, they’re literally running on f— Trump,” Fetterman said on the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher”<\/p>\n

“They have campaign commercials [with that message]. It’s absurd…” he added.<\/p>\n

“I refuse to engage in those extreme terms, and we have to find a better way forward, and now I’ve been punished<\/a> [for] find[ing] value in certain views.”<\/p>\n

Fetterman, who has increasingly positioned himself as an independent-minded voice within the party, framed his comments as a larger critique of partisan strategies as the country eyes the high-stakes midterm election cycle.<\/p>\n

Fetterman did not defend Trump directly, but suggested that defining campaigns primarily in opposition to him risks dismissing valid ideas simply because they belong to Trump’s side.<\/p>\n

“Like the ballroom… I don’t care about the ballroom,” he said, referring to the proposed White House space that the left has vehemently resisted.<\/p>\n

“I don’t either… it’s so stupid,” Maher chimed in.<\/p>\n

Maher added, “We saw a couple of weeks ago with the assassination attempt [at the WHCA Dinner], America probably does need [a ballroom].”<\/p>\n

Fetterman also rejected the idea of switching parties, framing his comments as a personal criticism rather than a political realignment.<\/p>\n

“If I ever decide to change, and I won’t, have me on, and I’ll announce that,” he said, laughing.<\/p>\n

“But I’m a committed Democrat… I vote 93% of the time [with the Democrats]. I thought we were supposed to be a ‘big tent’ party, so I’m not sure how I became an issue for any<\/a> of the Democrats, just by having some different views.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
