Sen. Bernie Sanders Says Fetterman 'Way Out of Touch'

Sanders defended his earlier support for Platner and said Fetterman reflects only 19% of Pennsylvania Democrats, according to a July Quinnipiac University survey.

  • On Sunday, Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Senator John Fetterman as "way out of touch," citing his 19% approval among Pennsylvania Democrats during a "Meet the Press" appearance.
