Schumer calls for Democratic unity amid Fetterman, El-Sayed feud

Fox News’ Alexandria Hoff reports on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling for Democratic unity as a feud between Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, D-Mich. threatens their push.

A Gaza-born member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has launched a primary challenge against Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., setting up a race against one of the Senate’s most vocal supporters of Israel.

In a post on X, Palestinian-American writer and businessman Ahmed Moor, 42, announced his campaign to unseat Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary.

“I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing,” Moor wrote. “I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America.”

Moor is part of a broader wave of DSA members seeking public office amid growing progressive dissatisfaction with moderate Democrats.

Fetterman has drawn ire from his party’s left wing for his staunch support of Israel in its war against Hamas, as well as his willingness to align with President Donald Trump on select policy issues.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Moor moved to Pennsylvania as a child, earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, and worked in finance before embarking on a career in journalism.

Prior to launching his campaign, he lived in Jordan before returning to Philadelphia with his wife to raise their children.

On his campaign website, Moor sharply criticized U.S. foreign aid to Israel.

“A few years ago my birthplace was turned to rubble in a genocide funded by our tax dollars, with the support of politicians on both sides of the aisle who can’t find money for transit or removing asbestos from our schools,” the website states. “It’s clear the United States funds wars based on corruption and lies and has turned its back on its own people. We must make sure this never happens again.”
