The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida has called for the cancellation of Senator John Fetterman's keynote speech at the upcoming Leadership Blue gala, hosted by the Florida Democratic Party. This request stems from his 'unwavering support' for Israel, particularly in the context of recent events post October 7th in Gaza. Despite the controversy, Fetterman is scheduled to speak at the event. Senator Rick Scott criticized the attempt to cancel the speech, linking the opposition to his political opponent Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and her allies, and labeling it as an attack from left-wing groups.
