First challenger enters race for Fetterman’s seat in 2028
Moor says he will end U.S. military aid to Israel and back sanctions, Medicare for All and free childcare as he enters the 2028 race.
- On Monday, Palestinian American writer and businessman Ahmed Moor announced his 2028 Democratic primary challenge to U.S. Senator John Fetterman, centering his campaign on opposing U.S. foreign policy and prioritizing domestic issues.
- Born in Rafah, Gaza, Moor frames his candidacy around a 'dignity agenda' including free healthcare, childcare, and affordable housing, arguing the United States prioritizes overseas wars over struggling families.
- Senator Fetterman faces criticism for his unwavering support for Israel and occasional departures from Democratic Party leadership, with low approval ratings suggesting he could face a 'robust primary challenge' for his seat.
- Moor advocates for withdrawing U.S. military aid to Israel and imposing aggressive sanctions until Palestinians have equal rights; inspired by State Representative Chris Rabb, he recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America.
- The end of the 2026 midterms last week marked the unofficial start of the 2028 election cycle; while Fetterman has not confirmed his candidacy, Representatives Chris Deluzio and Madeleine Dean are weighing potential bids.
