Fetterman isn't expected to announce that he's switching parties, sources tell Axios. But he is going to distance himself from socialism in the Democratic Party's left wing, sources familiar with the situation said. Democrats are certain to see the cameo as political mutiny — and it will supercharge questions about whether he'll ultimately leave the Democratic Party before he's up for reelection in 2028
