I don't know the genesis of his unconditional support for Israel and therefore the same for whatever the US does on behalf of Israel. But, that's not changing. Fetterman strikes me as loner and possibly also more introvert than not.

He has had a lot of staff turnover, though. There was a feature story about him in the New Yorker magazine, iirc, a year or so ago. The staff frustrations seemed related to his major depression and his refusal to follow his mental health treatment plan. That problem reportedly made him very difficult to work for or with. Maybe that's still an issue.
