Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., says he hopes President-elect Trump is powerful, and spoke out against those who feel then. Fetterman appeared Sunday on ABC’S” This Week”. His more than 10-minute sit-down portion was pre-recorded with co-anchor Jonathan Karl. ” I’m not rooting against him”, the Democratic senator said. ” If you’re rooting against the president, you are rooting against the state. And I’m never going to be the leader I want to get. But, country first. I know that’s become sometimes like a cliche, but it happens to be real “.The senator told Karl he always believed Trump’s action was about authoritarianism, while noting that it was Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ “prerogative” to visit Trump a totalitarian during her plan. FETTERMAN MEETS WITH TRUMP NOMINEES, PLEDGES ‘ OPEN-MIND AND AN INFORMED OPINION ‘ FOR Assurance VOTES”Fascism, that’s not a phrase that ordinary people use, you know”? Fetterman said. ” I think people will decide who is the candidate who will defend and work, you know, my version of the American way of life,” Fetterman said in a meeting with Trump’s cabinet nominees. He noted that his decision to vote to confirm the nominees will be based on his own knowledge and openness. FETTERMAN SAYS DEMSSHOULDN’T ‘ FREAK OUT ‘ OVER EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES: ‘ IT’S GOING TO BE 4 YEARS'” I believe that it’s suitable and the role of a U. S. senator to have a talk with President-elect Trump’s contenders. I met with Elise Stefanik and Pete Hegseth only after Tulsi Gabbard, and I’m looking forward to having more meetings with people soon,” Fetterman wrote in a blog on X. After speaking with them, my votes may come from an open mind and an educated judgment. That’s no provocative, it’s my job”, he continued. More than a fortnight ago, Fetterman said Liberals could not afford to “freak out” over all Trump said or did. On Sunday, he once more expressed that attitude, mentioning that Trump has not yet taken office. Alex Nitzberg from Fox News contributed to this statement.
