Philadelphia, PA, November 9, 2026 — Ahmed Moor, a writer and Philadelphia resident who was born in Gaza, has declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by John Fetterman. The election is scheduled for 2028.
Moor, who identifies as a Palestinian American, is framing his campaign as a progressive challenge to the incumbent. His platform is expected to highlight significant differences with Senator Fetterman, particularly concerning views on Israel and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Beyond foreign policy issues, Moor’s campaign aims to tackle a range of national concerns. These include addressing what he terms as corruption and focusing on the rising cost of living, which are issues impacting many Americans.
The candidate’s background as a writer and his specific perspective as a Gaza-born individual are central to his public positioning as he prepares for the 2028 electoral cycle. Further details regarding his campaign strategy and specific policy proposals were not immediately available.
