Pennsylvania's Democratic Sen. John Fetterman on Wednesday said that he would meet with President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, on Thursday.
Trump nominated Hegseth, a former Fox anchor and military veteran, to lead the Pentagon last month. But the nominee could face trouble in the confirmation process because of allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman years ago, and has a heavy drinking problem.
The Pennsylvania Democrat, who is largely considered a political outsider, said he has not ruled out confirming Hegseth as Defense Secretary.
“He could theoretically become the head of the Defense Department,” Fetterman told Politico. “I've discovered in my time in D.C. that that's important. And, ‘Are you having a conversation with someone?’ I don’t know why that’s shocking.”

Routine bolt tightening.
Ha!
Liberals are freaking out about Fetterman and his recent utterances.
BTTT
Fetterman is more maga than some of the GOP douche bags right now on Capitol Hill
They all asploded at once when he said he’d approve pardoning Trump, lol
He is on Truth Social now.
I suspect Pete & Fetterman will get along just fine.
Don’t let this fool fool you into thinking he’s seen the light all of a sudden. He voted with the Democrats today so don’t think for one minute that he has had a change of heart he’s a Democrat all the way to the core!
Interesting. I didn’t even consider Fetterman.
Fetterman’s vote to confirm will cancel out Collins’.
He is sure sounding more MAGA than Dr Oz!
Yes. Actions speak louder than words.
I’ve often asked “Why don’t Democrats have crazy uncles/aunts who go off the reservation like Murky, Collins, Romney, etc?”
Well now they do.
Exactly. Imagine if Dr. Oz is in the Senate. He won't be as outspoken on antisemitism.
Its possible that Fetterman is , gasp, a democrat! Remember when democrats acted like fellow Americans and held similar positions as the rest of the population. The difference was how to get there.
I can accept democrats and republicans in the traditional sense that all wanted what was good for the country-—but unfortunately, both parties have migrated to a direction that favors no one except themselves.
Easy, he like Maher. Occasion flashes of reason but a 90% rat. You will notice he did not come out of the meeting as a yes vote for Pete.
I think that’s because the meeting isn’t happening ing until tomorrow (Thursday).
We shall see. If Fetterman comes out as a yes for Pete l will be impressed and surprised.
