Fetterman warns he would leave Democratic Party if it turns its back on Israel
Fetterman said he would quit only if Democrats formally adopt an anti-Israel platform, citing a 103-member House vote to cut $3.3 billion in aid.
- Fetterman has alienated some Democrats by criticizing the party's progressive wing and maintaining staunch support for Israel, while launching a joint fundraising committee with Republican Dave McCormick to boost campaign finances.
- On Sunday, Representative Chris Deluzio, a Democrat, called the joint committee "crazy stuff," arguing it harms party efforts; Fetterman defended it as "nothing sinister" and based on shared interests.
- In May, Fetterman told The New York Times he has "no plans" to switch parties, citing his alignment with Democrats on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights despite pressure from conservatives.
