Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is increasingly isolated inside his own party, even as he has voted with Democrats 91% of the time and publicly rejects talk of switching parties.
73% of Republicans and 22% of Democrats in Pennsylvania view him favorably, reflecting the split driven by his calls for tighter border security, strong support for Israel and criticism of anti-Trump reflexes.
2028 primary chatter is already circulating among Pennsylvania Democrats, while Fetterman has sharply distanced himself from Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, calling it "crazy" that voters overlook a reported Nazi tattoo.
The rupture tracks a broader leftward shift in the party, with Bernie Sanders defending Platner, Chris Van Hollen urging less unconditional support for Israel, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emerging as a national standard-bearer.
