Summary
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) will be the first Democrat to meet with Donald Trump post-election, traveling to Mar-a-Lago.
The meeting reflects Fetterman’s growing willingness to collaborate with Trump, whom he praised as a “singular political talent.”
While emphasizing his commitment to representing all Pennsylvanians, Fetterman has supported some Trump policies and nominees.
Once a progressive icon, Fetterman has shifted to a more bipartisan approach, drawing criticism from Democrats while rejecting divisive rhetoric, including Vice President Harris’s labeling of Trump as a “fascist.”
The fact that he was called a progressive and won doesn’t seem to register with the PA Democratic Party.
Democrats know that progressives win elections. That bit of knowledge being lacking is not the issue. The problem is that they are not a progressive party. They would rather do everything in their power to kneecap progressive candidates than allow them to have influence in the party.
