Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor on Feb. 8 formally launched a run for the U.S. Senate, eying a seat being vacated by a Republican.

Democrat John Fetterman, in an announcement video, said he would “fight not for one part of Pennsylvania, not for one party of Pennsylvania, but for one Pennsylvania.”
