In 2016, when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> was mixing cocktails at a bar in Union Square, John Fetterman, then the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, was one of the original Bernie Bros.<\/p>\n

During his first unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate, Fetterman was a lonely voice supporting Bernie Sanders’ upstart primary challenge against Hillary Clinton<\/a>. In his endorsement video, Fetterman stated that he and Sanders “stand together as the most progressive candidates in our respective races.”<\/p>\n

A decade later, Fetterman may not have changed, but his political party cannot say the same.<\/p>\n

Today, Fetterman is a Democratic U.S. senator from Pennsylvania. Once again, he is on a political island for a very different reason. Despite voting 91% of the time with his party, the brash, outspoken former progressive darling enjoys higher marks among Republican voters (73%) than Democratic ones (22%) in his own state.<\/p>\n

KNIVES OUT FOR FETTERMAN AS DEMOCRATS TURN ON ONE-TIME PROGRESSIVE STAR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He has become a political outcast<\/a>. Fellow members of the Pennsylvania delegation are musing about a primary challenge in 2028. Speculation is running high about Fetterman switching parties, an idea he has poured cold water on.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez is the talk of the town for a different reason. She is endorsing left-wing candidates across the country. She and Sanders have barnstormed the nation on their so-called “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, which, according to media<\/a> reports, relies on private jets and chauffeured limousines to get around. Her name is rising fast on lists of potential 2028 presidential candidates.<\/p>\n

How did the script flip so fast in 10 years?<\/p>\n

For clues, look to Fetterman\u2019s so-called “sins.”<\/p>\n

He has stressed the need for a secure southern<\/a> border. He took his party\u2019s reflexive anti-Trump positioning to task, noting, “The president could come out for ice cream and lazy Sundays, and my party would suddenly hate them.”<\/p>\n

Fetterman has not only been outspoken in his support for Israel<\/a> \u2014 especially since the terrorist attacks of Oct. 7, 2023 \u2014 but has gone a step further and called out the “rot in my party standing with pro-Hamas people.”<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party<\/a>, meanwhile, has a different perspective. Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, someone who has been working hard to raise his national profile, has encouraged the party to rethink its “reflexive and unconditional support for Israeli governments.”<\/p>\n

Sanders has not only stood by his support of Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued and embattled Maine<\/a> Senate candidate, but also rushed to his defense.<\/p>\n

Fetterman has taken a different approach, calling it “crazy” that “the guy who\u2019s going to win the primary in Maine \u2026 has a Nazi tattoo on his chest, and that’s no problem for a lot of voters.”<\/p>\n

FETTERMAN COMPARES DEMS’ DEFENSE OF ‘TACKY AND GROSS’ PLATNER TO DISGRACED EX-LAWMAKER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Platner, for his part, has returned the favor, describing Fetterman as the “bane” of his existence.<\/p>\n

Therein lies Fetterman\u2019s challenge. He has said his “values<\/a> have not changed.” But his party’s values have.<\/p>\n

Take a quick look at some of their policy ideas.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS PAID THE PRICE FOR ABANDONING MODERATE CLINTON-ERA POLICIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Last decade\u2019s “Fight for $15” on the minimum wage has morphed into New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a>\u2019s quest for “$30 by 2030.”<\/p>\n

Barack Obama<\/a>\u2019s “rock solid” commitment to the people of Israel in 2012 has given way to Sanders accusing Israel of “committing genocide in Gaza.”<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s praise of the fracking revolution and natural gas yielded to Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal<\/a>” and the push to eliminate fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

And John Fetterman, one of the original Sanders backers when almost everyone else in his party was with Clinton, has become an outright pariah.<\/p>\n

These days, Democratic primary voters are much more aligned with Ocasio-Cortez’s “Tax the Rich” philosophy than Fetterman\u2019s hoodies and shorts. As the party’s center has moved leftward<\/a>, common sense and practicality are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
