The Pennsylvania Working Families Party rolled out an online “hub”<\/a> on Friday to support a primary challenger to the state’s US senator, John Fetterman.<\/p>\n

The WFP, an independent party that often supports Democrats with a populist economic agenda, backed<\/a> Fetterman’s 2022 Senate bid when he ran in the general election as a champion of many progressive causes. But the group now says<\/a> he “sold out working Pennsylvanians” after pivoting hard to the right on key issues.<\/p>\n

<\/span>It launched the campaign to oust him in November after he voted<\/a> with Republicans to reopen the government without an extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which is expected to spike health insurance premiums<\/a> for over 22 million Americans this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is supporting Trump\u2019s use of American tax dollars to \u2018run\u2019 Venezuela or buy Greenland, 500,000 Pennsylvanians are about to see their healthcare premiums rise because of the Republican budget bill he supported,\u201d said<\/a> Nick Gavio, mid-Atlantic communications director for the Working Families Party and a former Fetterman staffer. \u201cPeople across Pennsylvania did not put time, money, and energy into supporting his campaign just to elect a Democrat who votes against our interests time and time again. We need new leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
