Summary
Donald Trump praised Democratic Senator John Fetterman after their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, calling him a “commonsense person.”
Fetterman, whose political stance has shifted rightward in recent years.
He has drawn criticism from Democrats, especially for co-sponsoring the Laken Riley Act, which allows detention of undocumented immigrants accused of nonviolent crimes.
His wife, Gisele, an advocate for immigrant rights and a former undocumented immigrant, was not mentioned in discussions on immigration.
The meeting marks an unexpected alignment between the two politicians.
*new parties. Plural.
We need a unified party to challenge both republicans and democrats. Once dems see an actual threat to them, then they will try to act. More likely to compromise for a majority. That’s why Bernie failed. He tried to play their game.
I’m for multiple parties in the end but we need a real threat first. Not one of two places but several across local and national.
*gestures broadly*
