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.
For real. One of the state reps for Detroit claims to be Democrat. But she blocked all the last minute bills and won’t caucus with the Democrats this term. She’s in a district that is over 80% D and the law makes it almost impossible to recall her. So frustrating
