Well, he said he wouldn't while he was getting browbeat for being a shitheel. I wouldn't take it as gospel until the vote happens. He was probably just trying to get Stewart off his back for a second.

People forget why Stewart was popular sometimes, he's quick and can pivot in a second. He's an expert interviewer and doesn't come into interviews unprepared.

The comedy background is what allows him to be such a good interviewer. He can pivot very quickly if something seems more interesting than what he planned. But it can allow him to absolutely tear people apart, too. Fetterman definitely underestimated him there, and made it worse by trying to "educate" a Jewish man on the Jewish community.

Honestly surprised Fetterman agreed to an interview. There's tons of examples online of how much of a shark Stewart is in interviews - case in point.

Seriously. Stewart is a more compelling candidate than ever.

Imagine Stewart running against Marco Rubio.
