Fetterman to go MAGA in Trump tribute video at GOP convention: report Democratic senator will make video appearance praising Republican colleague from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments Democratic Sen. John Fetterman will be a surprise virtual guest at Wednesday’s Republican convention in Dallas, Texas, according to a report from Axios. The senator’s slide to the right under the second Trump administration and end of Joe Biden’s presidency is well-documented, but his appearance in a video explicitly for the use of Republican campaigning is still a new development for the Pennsylvania senator who won a close race to protect a Democratic Senate majority in 2022 and once took a highly oppositional tone to Donald Trump and the Maga-fied Republican Party. Axios reported that Fetterman’s appearance will come in the form of a video praising both Trump and his colleague in the Pennsylvania Senate delegation, Republican Dave McCormick. McCormick spoke Wednesday evening at the convention. This is a breaking news report. More to follow...
