"I will meet with and have a conversation with anyone if it helps me deliver for Pennsylvania and the nation," Fetterman said Thursday.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said Thursday that he has accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to join him at his Florida estate in the coming days.
“President Trump invited me to meet, and I accepted. I’m the Senator for all Pennsylvanians — not just Democrats in Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said in a statement on Thursday.
“I’ve been clear that no one is my gatekeeper. I will meet with and have a conversation with anyone if it helps me deliver for Pennsylvania and the nation,” the senator added.
The meeting appears to be the first known time a sitting Democratic lawmaker will join Trump at his Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago, since last year’s presidential election. It was first reported by CBS News.
Fetterman is a progressive Democrat with a penchant for making off-color remarks and for dressing in his trademark hoodie and shorts. Over the past year, he has won admiration from some conservatives for his unwavering support of Israel and his openness to supporting some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
