Senator John Fetterman stated he would leave the Democratic Party if it officially becomes an 'anti-Israel party' by including a 'no aid for Israel' policy in its platform. This statement follows a House vote where 103 Democrats supported blocking $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel. Fetterman expressed concerns over the party's shift toward progressive candidates and policies, including 'defund the police' and socialist influences. Polling data from Quinnipiac indicates low approval for Fetterman among Democrats compared to Republicans.
