Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has taken a stand that is causing a stir within the Democratic Party, as he breaks with progressives on hot-button issues like Israel and immigration. Fetterman, who once endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016, has declared 'I'm not a progressive,' showcasing an independent and maverick side that has disappointed some on the left. His fierce support for Israel and advocacy for curtailing migration mark a significant shift from his past socialist identification, leading some to label him a de facto conservative. The senator has also criticized Democrats for double standards, particularly regarding figures like Bob Menendez and George Santos, while not being up for re-election until 2028. Some see Fetterman as a genuine moderate in the tradition of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, while others feel he is alienating the progressive base he once cultivated. His recent comments have angered the far-left and have led to claims that both the political right and left are 'rooting for another blood clot,' reflecting his rejection of purity tests on immigration and the border. Fetterman has assailed the left for abandoning Israel, which he calls 'The Only Progressive Nation In the Region,' and has positioned himself as an 'America First Democrat,' putting American interests first and upsetting the 'woke mob.'
