Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has once again reiterated that his party's support for Israel is a key factor in whether or not he will remain a Democrat.
In his first interview since the midterm election earlier this month, Fetterman revealed that the election of Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland senator challenging Chuck Schumer for the job of majority leader, would see him reassess his party allegiances.
Speaking with Fox News anchor and former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on her show Saturday in America, Fetterman stated that he could walk away from his party if it continues a leftward shift.
'It would be troubling if my caucus elects someone like Van Hollen that has really made his name being very anti-hostile to Israel, you know,' Fetterman told McEnany.
Van Hollen is challenging current Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for the top job in the upper chamber of Congress after Democrats decisively won back control of both chambers earlier this month.
In his interview on Saturday, Fetterman also suggested that, 'If you are going to be angry or hostile towards any countries in the region, why not make that, you know, Iran or Hezbollah or Hamas as well too.'
The Pennsylvania Democrat has also stated that he doesn't want his party to spend the next two years in 'a circus of constant hearings' about getting 'payback' on the Trump administration.
Van Hollen's challenge to Schumer came earlier this week after he said he was considering a bid and after Schumer said he has the necessary support to win.

“Chris Van Hollen”
Remember his visit to “Maryland Man” in El Salvador?
Popcorn time!
Uncle Fester is the most rational democrat left, but he is a dead senator walking. If he stays a democrat he will get primaried for not being far enough to the left. If he switches parties he will be primaried for being too far to the left.
There is no place for a rational liberal democrat.
Interesting...but he will go Independent....flipping to Republican....Reporter is putting words in his mouth...like that’s something new.
“if it continues a leftward shift”
You cannot stop tectonic plates from shifting. Plus, it’s more like a lurch than a shift.
"If" ???
Do we REALLY want him?
IF HE DOES FLIP-—I PROMISE TO SEND $$$ TO HIS CAMPAIGN FUND...EVEN IT ONLY A DOLLAR
If he doesn’t know it by now, the democratic party is no place for any devout Jew. Uncle Festerman may be the most moderate democrat, and the far left that is taking over the party hates him. The republican party is no place for him either. Might as well retire, collect his generous pension and make a lot of ridiculous speeches, write a book. He’ll probably do better outside of politics.
Democrats would not be sorry if you left. They have a major majority that will get things done, especially when they get rid of the filibuster.
“LURCH FETTERMAN”
Open Borders Van Hollen.
“Uncle Fester is the most rational democrat left, but he is a dead senator walking. If he stays a democrat he will get primaried for not being far enough to the left. If he switches parties he will be primaried for being too far to the left.”
Exactly.
Except the Republicans may *not* primary him in the HIGHLY UNLIKELY event that he switches from D to R.
Who do the Republicans have that would be *likely* to win statewide in PA against any Democrat?
Nobody. Not even Dr. Oz, LOL.
In that case, might as well stick with Fetterman.
Who would get destroyed as a R in November of 2028 by a margin similar to the 2026 gubernatorial disaster in PA. He’ll get zero left-of-center votes and won’t get nearly enough other votes to come close to offsetting that.
Yes, the political climate will be better in 2028 than it was this year — it damn well better be — and the GOP will claw back a fraction (probably a small fraction) of the House seats they forfeited 12 days ago. But it won’t be nearly that much better to save Fetterman and the Senate outlook is currently bleak for the GOP, given the set of seats which are up. Likely GOP pickups are.... NONE. PA with Fetterman is actually their BEST chance, and that is hardly any chance at all.
The other alternative if Fetterman flips is for the Stupid Party in the Keystone State to have a bruising primary with Fetterman vs. an actual Republican (keep in mind that MOST GOP politicians in PA are basically Democrats anyway).
It’s all a moot point — Fetterman is great at talking and nigh useless when it comes to backing up that talk.
Fetterman has about a 15% chance of surviving in 2028 if he keeps the D after his name. He has approximately a 0% chance otherwise, and he knows it. A significant possibility is that he’ll pull a “Manchin” and choose not to run at all, once he sees how bad the writing on the wall is.
If Van Hollen is voted in as Speaker.
Chris Van Hollen is an evil, filthy bunghole.
The islamocommieparty is a pile of stench vomited from the writhing guts of the devil.
Fetterman has a 70% chance of running as an Independent for the Presidency in ‘28 and stripping votes away from the Demoncraps
That’s funny. :-)
He can accept Democratic policies that hurt America. But Israel must be supported.
Seeing where his first loyalties lie, Fetterman might be fit for the Knesset, but not for the U.S. Senate.
I guess he’s not a Jew hating anti Semite - como Usted
