Fetterman says Trump should ‘focus on his time in court’ rather than Pennsylvania

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) argued that former President Donald Trump ought to spend his time preparing for “his time in court” over his presidential campaign in Pennsylvania.

Fetterman’s advice comes after Trump visited Pennsylvania for a rally on Saturday evening, which was his last rally before his hush money trial starts on Monday. When asked about Trump’s polling numbers in the state, Fetterman argued that the former president has other things to worry about.

“Well, I got 99 things and what Trump‘s saying isn‘t one of them… My advice for him is he should really be focusing on his time in court tomorrow,” Fetterman said.

The Pennsylvania senator admitted that the election would be a close one in Pennsylvania, adding that the former president is “very popular” in his state. However, he argued that President Joe Biden is “the only American that ever beat Trump politically,” adding that Biden would do so again this November.

Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, while Biden won the state in 2020. Polling data from earlier this month indicated that Trump is leading Biden in six battleground states, with Pennsylvania being one of them.

Trump’s multitude of legal battles, including the hush money trial set to begin on Monday, could put a damper on his support in the presidential election. The former president took to social media on Sunday to complain that the judge in the trial only gave him and his team a “short period of time” to review the documents ahead of Monday.
