Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) defended his record and criticized parts of his own party in a Washington Post op-ed Thursday, arguing that Democrats have moved away from positions he said were once mainstream within the party while insisting that his own values have remained consistent.
In the piece, titled “I Haven’t Changed. Here’s What Has,” Fetterman wrote that “working across the aisle is the only way forward” and said he remains committed to serving “all Pennsylvanians” regardless of party affiliation. The Pennsylvania Democrat pointed to his bipartisan work on border security, government funding, Israel, infrastructure, and social programs while rejecting calls for ideological conformity inside the Democratic Party.
