Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's Senate announcement video is packed with Rust Belt grit

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) is vying for a job that may actually require him to stop wearing shorts in winter.

The announcement came in form of a gritty video tour of Pennsylvania that lays out Fetterman's politically unconventional past and mixes progressive promises with an appeal to people who "feel like their best days were a generation ago or more."

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (Pa.) announced late last year that he would not seek re-election in 2022, opening up the field in a swing state that went narrowly blue in 2020.
