Gaza-born West Philadelphia writer and businessman Ahmed Moor filed with the FEC on Nov. 9, 2026 as the first candidate for John Fetterman's Pennsylvania Senate seat in 2028, an election Fetterman has not said he will seek. Moor, a democratic socialist inspired by Chris Rabb, Zohran Mamdani, and Abdul El-Sayed, says he is running for good government and the rule of law and backs U.S. sanctions on Israel until Palestinians have equal rights.
