Pennsylvania's Republican Senator Dave McCormick expressed optimism about collaborating with his Democratic counterpart, Senator John Fetterman, on shared priorities in Congress. In a recent interview on "Fox News Sunday," McCormick discussed his commitment to representing all Pennsylvanians and finding common ground with Fetterman, despite their differing political affiliations.
McCormick emphasized their shared focus on working families and Fetterman's strong stance on issues like Israel and combating antisemitism as potential areas of cooperation. He acknowledged that while disagreements are inevitable, they intend to approach them constructively and concentrate on achievable goals.

McCormick believes that Fetterman recognizes the shortcomings of the Biden administration's policies and the public's desire for change. He sees Fetterman's willingness to explore bipartisan solutions as a positive step towards addressing these concerns.
The two senators and their wives recently met to foster a positive working relationship. Fetterman shared a photo of the gathering on social media, highlighting the importance of bipartisanship for the benefit of Pennsylvania.

McCormick officially assumed his Senate seat earlier this month, succeeding long-serving Democrat Bob Casey after a close election victory. This transition made Fetterman the senior senator for Pennsylvania.
