Fetterman to be first sitting Democratic U.S. senator to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago
CBS News ^ | Major Garrett

Posted on 01/09/2025 12:16:16 PM PST by usafa92

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has accepted an invitation from President-elect Donald Trump to meet with him at his Mar-a-Lago estate, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans.

"That is the plan. Yes, we are going to have a conversation," Fetterman told CBS News about the upcoming meeting.

The trip will mark the first known time a sitting Democratic U.S. senator is meeting with Trump at his Palm Beach residence since the election.

"I think that one, he's the president, or he will be officially," Fetterman said. "And I think it's pretty reasonable that if the president would like to have a conversation β€” or invite someone to have a conversation β€” to have it. And no one is my gatekeeper."

Trump should try to use him to run cover as the leader of a small block of Dems that vote with Trump. With the Senate poised to pass the Laken Riley bill with the support of 8 Democrats, this would be a Win/Win for Trump and Fetterman.

A suit and tie is the only appropriate dress for a vist by a sitting US senator.

When referring to the way fetterman dresses my wife nailed it in one word......L-A-Z-Y

RE: dress code...

Like the movie Major League where the “Wild Thing” Charlie Sheen was forced to dress up and wear a tie for a nice restauant.
Came in with the sleeves torn off his suit coat like a Hell’s Angel.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. For now, at least, but on a short leash.

I think he meant the logo of the state, as in the state flag, not the screaming Seminole. 😏

Talking is good. Unlike most of his caucus, Mr. Fetterman seems to be able to do that without the hysterics. He also displays courage. That is not lost on me.

I think the food is OK there.

Plus getting a tour would be highly entertaining.

Could he be on a scouting mission for the next FIB raid?

If I woke up from a decades-long coma, had no idea who Fetterman was, and saw a video clip of that guy speaking on the floor of the U.S. Senate, I would know with absolute certainty that he was representing Pennsylvania. LOL.
