(WHTM) — President Donald Trump heaped praise on Sen. John Fetterman, singling him out as the “most sensible” Democratic senator.

Trump made the remark during a press conference Friday, in which he assailed Democrats in the Senate for not backing his so-called “big, beautiful bill.”

“It’ll be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes,” the president said. “If I were a Democrat, I would. Maybe Fetterman, because he seems to be the most sensible one lately.”

The praise comes just days after new polling showed Fetterman with more popularity among PA Republicans than his own party.

The poll showed 45% of Republicans approve of Fetterman while just 40% of Democrats approve of him.

“He’s actually said he doesn’t want to be called a progressive anymore,” said Jim Lee, the pollster who crunched the numbers.

But Trump might not be able to count on Fetterman’s support.

While the senator said he backs the roughly $150 billion for securing the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration enforcement included in the bill, he previously said it won’t be enough to earn his vote.

“I will never support any bill that strips Medicaid, Medicare or SNAP benefits from Americans to bankroll tax cuts for billionaires,” Fetterman said in April.

Estimates show 10.9 million fewer people would have health coverage under the bill’s proposed changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

With a 53-seat majority in the Senate, Republicans can only afford three GOP defections on the bill without support from Democrats. As lawmakers bring the bill to a debate, hoping to meet Trump’s self-imposed July 4 deadline, the president is staying optimistic.

“I think they’re doing fine,” Trump said.
