The Pennsylvania affiliate of the Working Families Party said it has launched a new website as part of its campaign to primary Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa.,<\/a> and “defeat him.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We supported John Fetterman in 2022. Since then, he’s sold us out. It’s time to replace him,” reads a message on the homepage of PrimaryFetterman.com, which was paid for by the Working Families Party PAC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He has supported more of Trump’s nominees than any Democratic Senator. He consistently skips votes and Senate work. We deserve better,” the website adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Fetterman\u2019s office for comment. The effort to primary him was announced last November,<\/a> and at the time, Fetterman told Fox News,<\/a>\u00a0“I guarantee whoever they put up, they\u2019re going to make me look the reasonable guy that\u2019s going to work with both sides together and find a way for Pennsylvania.”<\/p>\n

Fetterman was elected to the Senate in 2022. He isn\u2019t up for re-election until November 2028. \u00a0<\/p>\n

When PA Working Families launched their effort to primary him, they said in a post on X, “We’re training potential candidates, recruiting volunteers<\/a>, and soliciting donations to help us defeat him.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you previously donated to any of Fetterman’s campaigns, you can request a refund of your contributions on the site in just a few clicks,” it added Friday in a post about PrimaryFetterman.com.<\/p>\n

On its website, the Working Families Party describes itself as, “a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful.”<\/p>\n

While some Democrats advocate for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Fetterman\u00a0pressed his party this week not to advocate for “extreme” ideas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Even Mayor Frey of Minneapolis doesn\u2019t support abolishing ICE. The party must resist the destructive tendencies to push extreme positions,” Fetterman noted Thursday in a post on X. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Secure the border. Deport all the criminals. Stop targeting the hardworking migrants in our nation,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fetterman also said Monday that he would surely support President Donald Trump taking military action in Iran if it was deemed necessary.<\/p>\n

“Sure, absolutely,” he said on CNN. “If it continues to make more sense, absolutely. I think I was the only Democrat that fully supported our strike of their Iranian nuclear facilities last year.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
