Sen. John Fetterman has expressed strong disapproval of fellow Democrats calling for President Joe Biden to step down as the 2024 presidential nominee.
According to Daily Wire, Fetterman argues that abandoning Biden could help former President Trump in the next election.
Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, has been vocal in his support for Israel. This stance has sometimes been at odds with President Biden's actions concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Despite Biden's performance in debates against former President Trump, Fetterman continues to defend him as the Democratic nominee. He believes any move to abandon Biden is detrimental to the party's chances in the upcoming election.
Fox News's Shannon Bream posed a question to Fetterman about the impact of internal Democratic opposition on Biden's re-election bid. She referenced the "Abandon Biden" movement, which criticizes Biden’s policy in Gaza.
The movement has been vocal about its dissatisfaction with Biden, stating that his policies in Gaza are grounds for opposing his re-election. They assert that Biden's actions lead to death in Gaza, and they are campaigning to prevent his re-election.
Fetterman did not hold back in his response. He labeled the "Abandon Biden" movement as the "dumbest s***" he has ever heard. He emphasized that Democrats abandoning Biden would inadvertently assist Trump.
Fetterman stressed the importance of unity within the Democratic Party. He warned that defecting from Biden would only help Trump, which he believes is a dangerous move.
He highlighted the stark choice facing voters in the next election. Fetterman contrasted Biden's vision of rebuilding America with Trump's focus on revenge and retribution.
Fetterman called for all Democrats to rally behind Biden. He insisted that now more than ever, it is crucial to support Biden’s candidacy.
He reiterated that the presidential office should not be weaponized against those who disagree with its occupant. Fetterman believes Biden offers a positive direction for America.
He warned that defecting from Biden could lead to severe consequences. Fetterman’s remarks underscore the urgency he feels about maintaining Democratic unity.
Fetterman draws a clear line in defending Biden between the Democratic vision for America and Trump's approach. His comments serve as a call to action for Democrats to support their current president.
