Fetterman said he would quit only if Democrats formally adopt an anti-Israel platform, citing a 103-member House vote to cut $3.3 billion in aid.

- In May, Fetterman told The New York Times he has "no plans" to switch parties, citing his alignment with Democrats on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights despite pressure from conservatives.
