Sen. John Fetterman Distances Himself From ‘Progressive’ Label To Embrace Moderate Stances
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) has opened up about his shifting political identity, moving away from the “progressive” label he once embraced.
Fetterman has been criticized by some within his party for his stances on critical issues, particularly his support for Israel and concerns over border security.
Fetterman, elected to the Senate in 2022, acknowledged that the “progressive” label no longer fits him.
“I’m not a progressive; I just identified myself as a regular Democrat,” he told CNN. “Now, eight years ago, I was a progressive, but the situation’s changed, and I’ve been obvious that I didn’t leave that label. That label left [left] me. I think it’s much more important to be focusing on [national issues] instead of those kinds of purity tests and those kinds of issues.”
Fetterman’s comments come after criticism from progressive lawmakers, such as Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington), who criticized the administration’s new border policy.
