John Fetterman Tells Progressive Democrats: 'Get Behind Joe Biden's Policies Or You're Gonna Get Behind Trump's Policies'

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has urged the progressive Democrats to rally behind President Joe Biden, Business Insider reported.

Fetterman voiced his stance during a meeting with reporters in his Senate office on Tuesday, stating, “Get behind Joe Biden’s policies, or you’re gonna get behind Trump’s policies.”

Fetterman, who is still recovering from an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke, used a tablet to read an instant transcript of reporters’ questions during the meeting.

He drew parallels to the 2016 election when he, the then-mayor of Braddock, supported Hillary Clinton’s campaign even after initially backing Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primaries. Fetterman emphasized that not supporting Clinton led to Trump’s victory, calling the outcome “devastating.”

Despite occasional criticisms, other prominent progressives like Sanders and Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York have endorsed President Biden.

Furthermore, Fetterman stated his belief that the 2024 election will be more about the contrasting personalities of Biden and Trump rather than voter-centric issues.

He also made clear his intent to stay neutral in Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego’s Senate campaign in Arizona, despite previous suggestions of support and his top political strategist now working for Gallego.
