Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., is reportedly mulling a U.S. Senate bid, a move which could mean challenging Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who would need to seek re-election in 2028 if he wants to pursue a second term.
“I’m going to be considering it,” Dean said in an interview with Politico published Tuesday.
Dean expressed disappointment with Fetterman’s performance as a senator.

“I have been concerned about, really, two things, which is his family and his health … and am very disappointed in his activity as a senator and in his votes,” she noted, according to Politico.
Dean’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s comment request on Wednesday.

The congresswoman, who has served in the House since early 2019, just won re-election to a fifth term.
Last year, a report quoted Dean as saying there was “no way” that she would mount a bid to challenge Fetterman.

But she strongly criticized Fetterman after he recorded a video that played during the GOP midterm convention earlier this year.
“To me, that was a very sad stunt, that he would stand there aligning himself with the most corrupt president of our lifetime, if not the most corrupt president in history. I have said I hope John comes back to the Democratic fold,” she said.
