Pennsylvania’s two senators, despite being from opposite parties, are banding together in a joint fundraising effort in advance of the 2026 midterms and 2028 election cycle.

A new political action committee called Common Ground PA was filed with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week. It is sponsored by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) through two separate fundraising groups.

The two senators are known to be friends, but their status as representing different parties makes the collaboration a unique one in the world of political fundraising.

A spokesperson for McCormick told local outlet the Center Square that the new PAC is based on donors who want to support both senators.

“This group of donors value the collaboration exhibited by Senators McCormick and Fetterman for Pennsylvania and want to support both of them,” the spokesperson said.

Fetterman is famously a centrist Democrat who votes more often with Republicans than many of his colleagues. But he has denied that he would ever switch parties, saying he’d “be a terrible Republican” and that he still believes in many of the ideals of the Democratic Party.

Fetterman is up for reelection in 2028, while McCormick is up in 2030. Both are in their first term in the upper chamber.

Pennsylvania is a swing state in presidential elections, and one of the few Senate delegations with a bipartisan duo.
