As his brain heals he leans further and further to the right.
Democratic Senator John Fetterman's shedding of the "progressive" label he once proudly espoused is partially due to some liberals' views on immigration and the southern border.
The senator from Pennsylvania defeated Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz by a five-point margin in the 2022 election.

He has shied away from the designation as of late.
