Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman is planning to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the first Democrat in the upper chamber to publicly make the trek after the 2024 election.
Fetterman said that Trump invited him and he accepted. The meeting is expected to take place this weekend, according to two people familiar with the plans.
“I’m the Senator for all Pennsylvanians — not just Democrats in Pennsylvania,” he said in a statement, confirming news first reported by CBS. “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 two politicians’ teams had been in contact recently about setting up a meeting between the men, according to a Trump official with knowledge of the discussions.
