Reading the full quote
I think he's just saying don't take PA for granted and there's a lot of work. It doesn't sound like an endorsement at all.
You left out the Trump bootlicking part of what he was quoted as saying in the interview, which I find suspicious:
Or do you think the Democrats should give a second chance to a convicted felon who has yet to be sentenced for felonies that Fetterman considers to be mistakes?
Yeah, he’s soft-supporting trump. This quote plus the “trump is going to be strong” line are definitely pro-trump in some fashion, then not wanting to “mansplain”.
Oh I missed that. TBH I read this from a different story.

Yeah the quote is bad.
Reading this story it still just sounds like he hates the approach they're taking about campaigning against him.
Do I think saying Trump deserves a "second chance" is dumb and gross given how much the fucker gets away with on a daily basis? Absolutely. This was not a good way to phrase it. This doesn't sound like someone sucking up to Trump though. It just sounds like someone that doesn't want to lose PA.
I also haven't paid too much attention to Fetterman so if there's other instances of him saying shit like this then I'm happy to stand corrected.
He seems to have missed that this election is trump’s third chance, not second.
The felonies are for cheating in the 2016 election. And I think we all remember pretty well how 2020 went.
