Kate Bedingfield on Plans to Primary John Fetterman: ‘It’s Perfectly Appropriate’
‘The Democratic Party is in a moment where it is searching for identity, it’s thinking about reinvention’
EXCERPT:
BEDINGFIELD: “I think 'plan to oust' is a little strong. I mean, look, the Democratic Party is in a moment where it is searching for identity. It is thinking about reinvention. I‘m actually somebody who doesn‘t think that competitive primaries in this moment are a bad thing for the Democratic Party. I think if there are others in Pennsylvania who think they would better represent Pennsylvania‘s interests, then they should run against him. I think there‘s reason to have some concern about — and we‘ve seen staff, former Fetterman staff, talk about their concerns about his health. So I don‘t — I think it is perfectly appropriate for Democrats in Pennsylvania to decide to run in primary, and may the best man or woman win.”
