John Fetterman called himself progressive for years. Now he’s rejecting the label
Democratic US Senator John Fetterman spent years courting support from progressive groups and voters, won support from Bernie Sanders and even hired some of his former aides.
The Pennsylvania senator also has embraced Medicare for All, wealth taxes, legalising cannabis, raising the minimum hourly wage to $15, abortion rights, and a major piece of pro-union legislation, among other progressive causes.
