Palestinian American writer Ahmed Moor, born in Gaza, announced his candidacy for Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat John Fetterman, Mondoweiss reported. Moor, described as a democratic socialist, becomes Fetterman's first declared challenger in the race.
The candidacy sets up a contest between the pro-Israel incumbent and a challenger with deep ties to Gaza. Fetterman has faced criticism from progressives over his support for Israel's military operations.
