US Senator Fetterman struggles to defend support for Israel as progressives win big

HEADLINE: US Senator Fetterman struggles to defend support for Israel as progressives win big
LEAD: The staunchly pro-Israel Democratic Senator John Fetterman has told television host and podcaster Jon Stewart that he would rather lose support in his own party than turn his back on Israel for any reason.
BODY: The interview took a bizarre turn at times, when Fetterman seemed to be trying to recall, unsuccessfully, talking points or even structure his answer. He would veer into another topic entirely, almost like he didn't understand the question, rather than trying to evade it.
