Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht announced on May 11, 2026, that he is leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent, citing what he called the party's "acquiescence to Jew-hatred." The move, which drew immediate support from U.S. Senator John Fetterman and sharp debate about whether criticism of Israel is being conflated with antisemitism, leaves the court with a 4-3 Democratic majority and reignites an intra-party fracture that has intensified since October 7, 2023.
