Super Bowl inspires bipartisan wager as PA Sens go ‘all in for the birds’
Sens. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., and John Fetterman, D-Pa., set aside their party politics to support the Philadelphia Eagles at SuperBowl LIX, engaging in a friendly bet with Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan. Despite being die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fans, both senators rallied behind the Eagles for the big game. In a surprising turn of events, the Eagles emerged victorious, prompting Marshall to fulfill his end of the bet by wearing Eagles gear and treating McCormick and Fetterman to some delicious Kansas City barbecue.
McCormick, who had previously engaged in a heated rivalry with Fetterman, took a ride to the game on Air Force One alongside President Donald Trump, Marshall, and other senate colleagues. During the flight, President Trump signed an executive order declaring Feb. 9 as “Gulf of America Day,” showcasing his commitment to his campaign promises for Pennsylvania. McCormick took the opportunity to discuss key issues affecting the state with the president, emphasizing the importance of energy dominance, combating the fentanyl crisis, and reducing the cost of living for Pennsylvanians.
Despite their differences, McCormick and Fetterman have found common ground post-election, coming together to discuss policy over dinner with their wives. Fetterman, known for his willingness to collaborate across party lines, has engaged with Trump and his administration on various occasions, demonstrating a commitment to bipartisanship in the political arena.
Fox News Digital reached out to McCormick and Fetterman for their thoughts on the friendly bet and their ongoing efforts to work together for the betterment of Pennsylvania. As the senators continue to bridge the divide between their respective parties, their partnership serves as a testament to the power of unity in achieving common goals.
