The Pennsylvania Democrat also defended Biden after his disastrous debate performance.
Sen. John Fetterman is interviewed by May 7, 2024, on the Fox News Channel in Washington. | Jacquelyn Martin/APSen. John Fetterman said progressives saying they will abandon President Joe Biden over his response to the Israel-Hamas war is ‘the dumbest shit’ he’s ever heard.
The movement highlights one of the many other lingering issues over which Biden’s reelection was in jeopardy even before a disastrous debate performance. Biden’s support from young people and progressives helped carry him to the presidency in 2020. But as the war in Gaza has claimed the lives of over 30,000 Palestinians, many progressives have said they are abandoning Biden in 2024 — and that was before Thursday night’s debate.
Alongside many other Democrats on Sunday morning, Fetterman defended Biden as the Democratic nominee after his debate performance Thursday. The Pennsylvania senator had his own issues of debate performance during his 2022 Senate campaign: Fetterman faced off against Republican candidate Mehmet Oz after suffering a stroke.
He also emphasized the contrast between Biden and former President Donald Trump in their presidencies.
