Pennsylvania senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick participated in a high-profile forum and debate where they found common ground on several issues, including their support for Israel, though they diverged on budget plans. Fetterman, a Democrat, broke ranks with many in his party by publicly praising former President Donald Trump's Middle East policies. He highlighted Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and supported Trump's stance on Iran, stating he was the only member of his caucus to acknowledge that Trump’s policies are effective in the region. Fetterman also called for authorization of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a position that has faced criticism from conservatives and some Democrats. McCormick, a Republican, defended Fetterman’s views on Fox & Friends and expressed willingness to support Fetterman when appropriate.
