On CNN, Jones said the Pennsylvania senator remains a moderate Democrat after Politico reported some Republicans had urged him to switch parties; Fetterman replied, "I'm a Democrat, and I'm staying one."

Fetterman has drawn criticism from Democrats including DNC vice-chair Malcolm Kenyatta and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries over breaks with the caucus on Israel and Iran-related issues.
