Fetterman continues to buck his party on the border…
In a rare show of bipartisan resolve, Pennsylvania Senators John Fetterman, a Democrat, and Dave McCormick, a Republican, stood shoulder to shoulder at a forum on border security.
Fetterman, in a moment that turned heads, didn’t just echo GOP concerns—he openly challenged his own party’s stance. The message was clear: when it comes to the border, politics should take a back seat to common sense.
“I’ve kind of, I’ve lost some support in my party. I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately,” Fetterman told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream during a FOX Nation presentation of The Senate Project series on Monday.
“Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that’s roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that’s unacceptable. And that’s a national security issue. And that’s chaos. So a secure border, being very pro-immigration, that’s who I am as a Democrat.”
“We are going to disagree and vote on different things,” Fetterman said. “But for me, it’s about trying to find the things we can win together and deliver those kinds of wins for Pennsylvania and ultimately for America.”

Fetterman and McCormick also addressed the rise in antisemitism in America, including on our nation’s campuses and the most recent attack in Boulder, Colorado.
“What happened yesterday in Boulder? It’s astonishing,” Fetterman said. “You know, the kinds of, the rank antisemitism, it’s out of control. And for me and as my friend just pointed out, this is just rampant across all the universities for all of these places, too. I mean, we really need to call it what it is. And now and for me, politically, being very, very firmly on the side of Israel, that kind of put parts of my party at odds for that.”

From the Tree of Life massacre down the road from where we live, to Boulder yesterday, D.C. the week before, and so many more horrific accounts.
We both see the way antisemitism has impacted communities across Pennsylvania, the country, and the world—and we must call it out. https://t.co/rcqHn7RyYJ
