Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., continued to distance himself from the far-left wing of his party, telling the New York Times he no longer considers himself a “progressive.”
The freshman U.S. Senator has angered progressives with his outspoken support for Israel and a secure border in the past few months. The Democrat said he’s not interested in his party’s “bizarre” purity tests.
“It’s just a place where I’m not,” he told the Times. “I don’t feel like I’ve left the label; it’s just more that it’s left me.”
Fetterman admitted his strong support for Israel has made him enemies on the far-left.
“What I have found out over the last couple years is that the right, and now the left, are hoping that I die,” he explained.
