Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028
John Fetterman, the maverick Democratic senator who has provoked widespread anger by increasingly siding with Republicans, is to be challenged for his Pennsylvania seat by a democratic socialist candidate who is originally from Gaza.
Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, when Fetterman’s seat is up for re-election.
The move is the first sign of Fetterman’s weakened position in the party since the Democrats won back control of the Senate in last week’s US midterm elections, when the party won at least 54 of the upper chamber’s 100 seats.
Biggest regret I have is voting for him and not Kenyatta. I worried too much that the vote would split between Kenyatta and Fetterman and Lamb would sneak in. The vote for Fetterman vs Oz later on was a bit more black and white.
Part of me would like to see Summer Lee take a shot at the senate, but I also enjoy having her as my rep. One of the few that doesn’t accept AIPAC money, is vocal against ICE (and has been showing up to try and get access to their facilities without warning), and doesn’t stand for Israel’s bullshit. Campaigned for Sanders in '16 and endorsed him again in '20. Great voting record, and has good subcommittee experience.
