John Fetterman

Concha argued Fetterman has increasingly become an outlier within his own party, particularly on issues such as Israel and political rhetoric surrounding Trump.

“I’m not sure why John Fetterman is still a Democrat at this point,” Concha said. “This isn’t to say he should become a Republican, but at least he probably should be an independent because the Democratic Party clearly has left him.”

The Washington Examiner senior writer pointed to Fetterman’s support for Israel, condemnation of Hamas, and criticism of anti-Trump rhetoric as examples of positions that have alienated him from progressive Democrats while earning him praise from Republicans.

“Fetterman has guts,” Concha said when asked why few Democrats have echoed the senator’s criticism of his party. “Most others on the Left are just simply not there right now as far as standing up for common sense and saying things that are responsible.”
