Senator John Fetterman has announced that he will not be attending the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. Fetterman cites spending time with his children as the reason for his absence, despite controversy surrounding his decision. His stance on Israel, which has led to protests outside his home and criticism within his office, is also a point of contention. Fetterman's communications director has publicly criticized his views on Israel, adding to the internal discord. Fetterman maintains that his decision is not related to his recent criticisms of fellow Democrats or his support for Israel.
