John Federman, thank you for joining us here on the All-In podcast for this All-In

interview. Very excited to have me here today. I know you're in the middle of voting today.

Sounds like the Save America Act might be starting its debate on the floor. Is that correct?

I don't know. I think what I've heard recently that they don't have the votes, but we will find.

But I don't have any special insight.

I mean, it's going to be very close.

I don't think if they do hit it, I don't see it more beyond 51.

But I'm not really sure.

It's a shame that they didn't make it more about just ID to vote.

They turned it into other things. They turned it

into kind of a Christmas tree and they're hanging all these things on it. But now that's,

that's where we are, but we'll know. And having someone follow that too, I just, he's going to let

me know, in fact, because I'm really interested to see how it goes,

because if they do, then that's going to turn into a really a spectacle about what a talking

filibuster is. Yeah. Well, let's see what happens. I mean, it's a pretty dramatic week ahead.

Let me just start. I want to zoom out a little bit and talk about how you make

policy decisions. And I want to just start with party. You ran as a progressive in 2016, lost. You beat

Dr. Oz in 22. And now you have a 72% approval rating from Pennsylvania Republicans and only 22%

from Democrats. Are you a Republican or are you a Democrat, Senator? And kind of

what's the way that you think about your party affiliation? Well, actually, I think the more

realistic, the realistic numbers was like earlier in the morning console. And that hit me at

basically 50-50 with Dems. And I was I was in the morning console. And that hit me at basically 50-50 with Dems.
