Fetterman has broken with his party on some policy matters and warmed to President-elect Donald Trump, a man he bashed on the 2024 campaign trail as a “felon” who is “obsessed with revenge.” Fetterman later became the first Senate Democrat to meet with Trump since the election.

Pa., shared his optimism for bipartisanship after breaking bread with his Democratic colleague Sen. John Fetterman earlier this month.

After his visit with just-about-to-be president Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago, many members of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s base are confused. Why would a Democrat who relied on progressives to be elected be making nice with Trump?

Fetterman and Britt’s families hang out together. There’s a group text chain among John Fetterman, his wife Gisele, Katie Britt and her husband Wesley, a former football player whom Fetterman refers to as “The Big Unit.” In text messages, he even types a “™” next to it, to make sure people know he bestowed the nickname.

The Pennsylvania senator, a Democrat, said he would "meet with and have a conversation with anyone" to deliver for his state.

“I think I agree with that,” Sunny Hostin agreed, adding that she thinks he’s “brilliant.” While she agreed with Navarro’s point about the “optics” of trekking to Florida and “kissing the ring,” she thought Fetterman’s decision was “shrewd.”

U.S. Sens. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) are on opposite sides of the aisle, but aren’t entirely falling in line or opposing Trump’s selections.

"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," Fetterman said.
