The saying that Politics makes strange bedfellows is being played out in real time.
One is a Republican poised to take back the presidency next week; the other is a Democratic senator from Pennsylvania.
The relationship that has emerged between President-elect Donald Trump and Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) has people wondering what exactly is happening, The Hill reported.
Since the Nov. 5 election, Fetterman has met with Trump while criticizing his fellow Democrats on certain issues.
“I wouldn’t 100% rule out that maybe or slightly there is some thinking about different or future opportunities,” Eddie Vale, a longtime Democratic strategist, said.
Others are just not sure why Fetterman has taken the stances he has.
“There’s no telling with any certainty what Fetterman’s motivations are. I do political analysis, not psychoanalysis,” Norman Solomon, a progressive strategist and founder of the activist network RootsAction, said. “But clearly, he has been moving rightward.”
There has been speculation as to if Fetterman may have a role in the Trump administration — especially since the two met at Mar-a-Lago.
