Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized The Associated Press on Thursday over its call for the Republican challenger in the Pennsylvania Senate race, saying the outlet “shouldn’t make a call in this race” just yet.

“We still have tens of thousands of votes to be counted across the Commonwealth,” Fetterman said in a post on social platform X. “@AP_Politics shouldn’t make a call in this race until every Pennsylvanian has their vote counted.”

25 minutes after AP announced its race call.


“This race is within half a point and cannot be called while the votes of thousands of Pennsylvanians are still being counted. We will make sure every Pennsylvanian’s voice is heard.”

Well, bust my britches!

How very inconvenient for MAGATs!

My understanding is that a large chunk of the uncounted votes are from the blue areas

If Casey wins, perhaps other Democrats nationally should take it as a CLUE and start investigating just how many Blue votes went uncounted across the board
