John Fetterman, who currently serves as Pennsylvanias Lieutenant Governor, announced on Fri., Jan. 8 that he is strongly considering the higher office of U.S. Senate in 2022.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fetterman plans to tell supporters in an email, You already know exactly where I stand. I havent had to evolve on key issues, because Ive always said what I believe is true and have been saying the same things for 20 years.
The 2022 Senate race in Pennsylvania is said to be one of the most competitive of the cycle and could play a huge role in determining who controls the Senate after 2022. The Democrats recently took control of the chamber after winning two races in Georgia, but the majority is razor thin at 50-50, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris providing Democrats with a tie-breaking vote.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Lehigh) announced last year that he would be retiring at the end of his term, opening up the seat. Fetterman, who resides in Braddock, appears to be the first politician indicating publicly his intention to run for the seat.
