Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) stated he is not too concerned about former President Donald Trump winning the state of Pennsylvania in November, though he admitted that the race would be “very close.”

While appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, the Pennsylvania senator was asked about recent polling data on the upcoming presidential election. The data show that Pennsylvania voters believe that a second Trump presidency would leave them better off financially than a second Biden term. The data also suggested that voters believe Trump would do a better job than Biden on gas and oil exploration, including fracking.

“I’m not worried about that, and I want to be very clear: Joe Biden beat Trump in Pennsylvania, and he’s going to do that again,” Fetterman said about the polling data. “But it’s going to be very close. Absolutely. I’ve been having that same conversation since 2016 — that it’s going to be very competitive. And now oil and gas, of course, that’s an issue, but it’s not going to define the race, and that’s for sure.”

Fetterman added that November’s election will give voters a “stark” choice in who they can vote for. Trump is currently the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party, meaning a rematch between him and Biden this November is likely.

The polling data, which Fetterman discussed, was collected by YouGov between April 19-25 and released by CBS News. The poll surveyed 1,306 registered voters in Pennsylvania. The margin of error is +/-3.1%.

Fetterman is currently in the state of Florida to help campaign for Biden ahead of the 2024 election. The Sunshine State has been reliably red for the Republican Party in the past presidential elections, going for Trump in 2016 and again in 2020.

Pennsylvania, meanwhile, is a state that Trump had won in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020. However, recent polling data indicates that the former president currently has a slight advantage compared to Biden.
