Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, recently addressed concerns within his party regarding border security and foreign policy. Fetterman acknowledged that Democrats faced challenges with border security, leading to Republicans gaining control of Congress and the White House. He emphasized the need for a secure border while supporting pro-immigration policies.
Fetterman highlighted the significant number of monthly encounters at the border, equating it to the population of Pittsburgh arriving in just one month. He stressed the importance of addressing the issue to provide opportunities for immigrants seeking the American Dream.
Regarding foreign policy, Fetterman expressed support for Israel's actions against Hamas and Ukraine's defense against Russia. He commended Israel for not agreeing to a cease-fire, citing the weakening of Hamas and Hezbollah as positive outcomes. Fetterman also stood in solidarity with Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of supporting democracy.
Commenting on the incoming administration's foreign policy team, Fetterman praised their pro-Israel stance. He indicated support for individuals like Senator Marco Rubio and potential cooperation with Dr. Mehmet Oz, his former Senate race opponent.
