McCormick praises Fetterman’s willingness to ‘call out the craziness’ in Democratic Party
McCormick said Fetterman’s willingness to challenge progressive Democrats has boosted his standing with many Pennsylvania voters.
- On Sunday, Sen. Dave McCormick praised Sen. John Fetterman for his willingness to "call out the craziness" within the Democratic Party, contrasting his colleague's approach with the broader national trend toward more progressive candidates.
- McCormick claimed the Democratic Party has taken "this huge swing to the radical left," citing Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory over establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan as evidence of internal party division.
- A July Quinnipiac University poll found 48% of Pennsylvania voters approved of Fetterman's job performance, with Republicans backing him 77%-12% while Democrats disapproved 69%-19%, lending weight to McCormick's assessment.
- Fetterman told The Hill last month that he has "no plans" to leave the Democratic Party, but warned that if it becomes an "anti-Israel" party, he would depart, citing a need for "moral clarity."
- This tension extends beyond Pennsylvania as progressive candidates like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani challenge establishment figures, while Fetterman faces criticism from the left over his staunch support for Israel.
