Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized the Republican Party for failing to unify behind Senator John Cornyn in Texas’ contentious Senate primary, calling the lack of endorsement a strategic misstep. The race between Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and Wesley Hunt has grown volatile, with Democrats speculating Paxton’s potential win could create an opening for their party. Fetterman argued that Texas, a key battleground, risks being “left in play” without GOP cohesion, emphasizing the Senate majority’s precarious balance.

He also condemned Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her criticism of Israel’s Gaza policy, labeling it “part of the rot” in the Democratic Party and vowed to oppose “anti-Israel” rhetoric.
