Sen. John Fetterman and Republican rival Dave McCormick arrange Pennsylvania’s participation in “The Great American State Fair” in Washington, D.C., according to statements cited by outlets. The move follows Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, who says state officials could not locate a business to sponsor the state’s booth. After that development, Fetterman and McCormick step in to organize Pennsylvania’s presence, with McCormick’s office saying in a Saturday release that the two senators “announced” their plan to support the booth. The coverage describes the senators’ effort as a workaround to the sponsorship problem identified by the governor’s administration. The reports do not indicate that the senators are challenging the fair’s sponsorship requirements; instead, they focus on who is taking responsibility for coordinating the booth after the governor’s team reported difficulty finding a sponsor. The arrangements are presented as bipartisan, with both Pennsylvania senators involved in the logistical follow-through for the state display in Washington.
