Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028
John Fetterman, the maverick Democratic senator who has provoked widespread anger by increasingly siding with Republicans, is to be challenged for his Pennsylvania seat by a democratic socialist candidate who is originally from Gaza.
Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, when Fetterman’s seat is up for re-election.
The move is the first sign of Fetterman’s weakened position in the party since the Democrats won back control of the Senate in last week’s US midterm elections, when the party won at least 54 of the upper chamber’s 100 seats.
i mean, im sure he’s a better person than fetterman, but can’t we pick candidates that would obviously stand a better chance of winning… im sure how we can see a lot of people might not vote for someone like that. people are dumb. you are alienating like half of democratic voters with a candidate like that.
We’ll see, I guess. Fetterman has alienated quite a big number of democratic voters as well!
fetterman is toast. im not worried about fetterman. im worried about the person on the republican ticket. this is still a battleground state.
Don’t worry. I doubt they could find a Palestinian to run against Ahmed Moor. All they have is dime a dozen nazi white boys.
we pick candidates in primary elections.
Don’t act like the primaries don’t have their own set of problems.
What are they going to do?
Blue — no — matter — who.
We had to do it, and they will too.
Abdul El-Sayed, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib. Such strong American names! Doing so poorly politically…
The abdul el sayed race was closer than i’d like. In this politcal environment it shouldnt have been.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were in extremely blue areas. The idea of them having any chance of losing is ridiculous.
Do you think that was maybe because Democratic leaders didn’t endorse him, rampant islamaphobia, 40 million AIPAC dollars against him and his literal Democratic primary opponent endorsing the Republican?
Or just his name?
Let’s be honest here about what actually happened
honestly, take your pick. Like I said, people are dumb.
If you can win the primary, you’ve got the best chance of all candidates in the general election.
I’m sure this won’t be the only guy running against Fetterman in the primary, though.
Oh you can bet it will be A PACKed primary.
