โ€˜I will meet with and have a conversation with anyone if it helps me deliver for Pennsylvania and the nation,โ€™ Fetterman said.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said on Jan. 9 that he will meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago; the first Democratic senator to meet with the incoming president.

In a statement provided to The Epoch Times, Fetterman said that Trump invited him to his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and he accepted.

โ€œIโ€™ve been clear that no one is my gatekeeper. I will meet with and have a conversation with anyone if it helps me deliver for Pennsylvania and the nation,โ€ he said.Fetterman did not say when the meeting will take place.

CBS News first reported on the upcoming meeting.

Fetterman, who supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, has expressed support for parts of Trumpโ€™s agenda.

The senator has even called for pardoning Trumpโ€™s conviction for falsifying business records. Trumpโ€™s sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 10 in New York, though he is trying to get it delayed, arguing that, as the incoming president, he has immunity.

Fetterman posted on Trumpโ€™s social media platform, Truth Social, last month that both the Trump case and the cases against Hunter Biden were political. โ€œWeaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,โ€ Fetterman wrote.President Joe Biden pardoned his son last month for federal felony gun and tax convictions.

Fetterman was the first Democrat to cosponsor the Laken Riley Act, which requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal immigrants who commit certain crimes, such as theft, theft, burglary, or shoplifting.

The bill was named for a Georgia nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Senate advanced the measure on Jan. 9.

โ€œLaken Rileyโ€™s story is a tragic reminder of whatโ€™s at stake when our systems fail to protect people. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one to preventable violence,โ€ said Fetterman in a statement.

โ€œImmigration is what makes our country great. I support giving authorities the tools to prevent tragedies like this one while we work on comprehensive solutions to our broken system.โ€
