Fetterman and McCormick's Misaligned Reelection Calendars Reset Joint Fundraising Dynamics

Pennsylvania's senators, Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Dave McCormick, created a joint fundraising committee called Common Ground PA in July.

This temporal gap transforms what appears to be bipartisan coordination into a permanent money-pooling arrangement, untethering fundraising from immediate ballot pressure.
