Dem Senator Says He’s ‘Not A Progressive’ As He Splits From Left On Several Contentious Issues

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said in an interview that he is “not a progressive” as he continues to break from the left on several contentious topics within the party, NBC reported on Friday.

Fetterman continues to be pro-Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks during a time where the party’s left flank is increasingly pro-Palestinian and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The senator has also called for tougher immigration policy and for the resignation of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez following his damning indictment, telling NBC News he is a Democrat who is merely “committed to choice.”

“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”

Fetterman has been outspoken on the Middle East conflict, maintaining that Hamas should be condemned for its brutal attack against Israel and that the ally has a right to defend itself against the terrorist organization. The senator has also criticized his left-wing colleagues on their stance as there continues to be a rift within the party.

He’s probably looking ahead at the prospect that he may face a serious GOP challenger when he runs again

But if these are his true positions, good for him.

Maybe he’s regaining some cognitive function after his stroke.

I don’t know how long he was post stroke when he ran in 2022. But I have seen patients regain some cognitive function.  I’ve seen patients that were flaccid on one side of their body immediate post CVA regain some function after time

That explains Biden.  He is a case study.

The quest of "clicks" is eternal.

Nowhere in the headline is recent-stroke victim Fetterman's name.

Furthermore...it's how he VOTES...not how be loves being a 'maverick'.
