"What I am confident in that the world is better, that Iran can now not acquire a nuclear bomb. And I am confidant in knowing that the worlds better than having that garbage erased. I know probably the most toxic thing you can do as a Democrat is to agree with the president about anything at this point."
"I think people in the base, the people in Pennsylvania and the country, I would say, hey, as a committed Democrat, I can say I think this is a good thing and where we are now, I'm proud to stand with Israel."
"I think the question that a lot of folks have is, will they never be able to get a nuclear bomb again? The senator continued arguing the U.S. strikes, which took out much of Iran's leadership, including its supreme leader, will prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon."
Senator John Fetterman diverges from most Senate Democrats by supporting President Trump's military strikes against Iran. While nearly all Senate Democrats backed war powers resolutions to limit Trump's military operations, Fetterman stands alone in his backing. During an interview with MSNBC's Katy Tur, Fetterman defended the strikes, asserting they prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and make the world safer. He acknowledged the political difficulty of agreeing with Trump as a Democrat but argued the strikes represent a positive outcome. Fetterman also urged fellow Democrats to adopt more reasonable positions on such issues to appeal across political lines and successfully flip seats in future elections.
