Sen. John Fetterman told CNN on Wednesday that he wasn't a progressive, but rather a 'regular Democrat,' in response to critics questioning his stance on Israel and the border.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., responded to progressive critics suggesting he wasn't exactly who people thought he would be while he was campaigning. He added that the progressive 'label' left him. 'I'm not a progressive, I just identified myself as a regular Democrat,' Fetterman said, talking to CNN's Dana Bash. 'Now, eight years ago, I was a progressive, but the situation's changed and I‘ve been very clear that I didn‘t leave that label.
In December 2023, Fetterman called on Democrats to engage on the border issue. 'I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border,' Fetterman told Politico. 'It’s a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage.'
