**Fetterman Dismisses Trump's Claims of Pennsylvania Election Fraud**

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) took a chance on Sunday to ridicule former President Donald Trump's renewed allegations about election fraud. Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” Fetterman labeled Trump’s assertions as recycled tactics from the 2020 election. “It's the same stuff he played in '20, and that didn’t go anywhere,” Fetterman remarked.

Trump has recently intensified his rhetoric regarding election integrity in Pennsylvania, claiming large-scale cheating without providing evidence. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!” Such claims have become a consistent part of Trump’s narrative since his loss in the 2020 presidential election.

During his CNN appearance, Fetterman reassured viewers about the security of the elections in Pennsylvania. “It’s the same thing he tried in 2020 and, you know, we had... absolutely a secure election,” he stated. He also pointed out instances of voter fraud in the state that involved Republicans, mentioning, “there was voter fraud in Pennsylvania, and it was a handful of Republicans, and they had their dead moms voting for Trump.”

Fetterman did not just critique Trump’s statements but also addressed the political landscape heading into the next election. He noted that President Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes in 2020 and expressed confidence that Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz would lead a new team in America, despite a tight race.

Polling data reflects a competitive electoral battle, with an average of The Hill/Decision Desk HQ polls showing Trump leading Harris by a slim margin of 0.7 points, and a recent survey from The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena College indicating a tie at 48 percent support among likely voters in Pennsylvania.

The Hill has sought comments from both the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee but has yet to receive a response.
