When John Fetterman won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat, he succeeded, it seemed, on vibes. The Democrat had an advanced degree from Harvard, but didn’t mention it. He had been in public office for nearly two decades, but didn’t act like it. It was hard to picture his hulking frame and American Chopper aesthetic on the floor of the U.S. Senate. That’s exactly why Pennsyvalnia Democrats — and, they hoped, a majority of their fellow voters come November — thought he belonged there.
