They are not the only centrist Democrats to express such concerns. Congressman Steve Cohen also left the Congressional Progressive Caucus after nearly half of House Democrats voted in favor of legislation that would end U.S. aid to Israel, an issue that has become a major priority for members of the party's left wing.
