Fetterman warns there is no longer 'common ground' with far-left Democrats over Israel
John Fetterman, D-Pa., told Fox News on Saturday that he no longer sees "any more common ground" with the far-left wing of his party over its stance on Israel.
Key points
- FETTERMAN RECEIVES NO SUPPORT FOR RE-ELECTION FROM PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE DEMOCRATS: REPORT "This is someone that is very proud, very proud, pro-Hamas, and there are parts of my Democratic base [that] find my views more troubling or offensive, my strong support of Israel versus his views," Fetterman said.
- FETTERMAN WINS PRAISE FOR 'GUTS' AFTER GOING TOE-TO-TOE WITH JON STEWART OVER ISRAEL SUPPORT In a statement to Fox News Digital, Moor's campaign pushed back on Fetterman's remarks, saying the candidate "condemns violence against civilians by anyone" and accusing the Pennsylvania senator of failing to represent his constituents.
- Fetterman also called for bipartisan cooperation on the national debt, artificial intelligence, Iran and Social Security, expressing hope that Democrats could work with the White House.
FETTERMAN REVEALS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR HIM TO LEAVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY "Now I think if someone can't identify [that] Iran is an enemy, and that it's committed to destroying Israel and our nation as well, too — once again, this is the kind of individual that the Democratic Party elected," he added.

- "Other than that, I can’t really think of what Van Hollen's known for, but he became like a progressive darling, but I don't see that he has a path to be leader, but overall it's possible because just last weekend I had a lot of people protesting, demanding that we vote against Schumer," Fetterman said.
- Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and called his new 2028 Democratic primary challenger "pro-Hamas." "I have a strong, strong difference of opinion on Israel and the Jewish community overall now.
- Fetterman also criticized Gaza-born Palestinian-American writer and activist Ahmed Moor, who announced a 2028 Democratic primary challenge against him earlier in the week.
- These views are in line with the majority of Pennsylvanians, who Fetterman has failed to accurately represent in Congress," the campaign said.
