Sen. John Fetterman is scheduled to give a keynote address for Florida Democrats’ annual fundraiser this weekend. The state party’s progressives are trying to stop that from happening.
“Florida Democrats are thrilled to welcome Senator Fetterman to the Sunshine State,” party Chair Nikki Fried wrote in an announcement Tuesday.
A caucus of progressives statewide expressed “concern and disappointment” with the decision and are circulating a petition calling on Fried to cancel the Pennsylvania senator’s speech.
