'Senator for all': Fetterman set to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago

"President Trump invited me to meet, and I accepted. I'm the senator for all Pennsylvanians - not just Democrats in Pennsylvania," Fetterman told Fox News on Thursday. 

"I'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," he added. 

A source familiar with the meeting told Fox Digital it will take place over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. It will be the first known meeting between Trump and a sitting Democratic senator at Mar-a-Lago. 

In another interview ahead of the election, Fetterman acknowledged Pennsylvania voters shared a "connection" with Trump before also launching expletives directed at Trump and mocking the former president's campaign.

"I've been saying this, whether it was Biden or then became Harris, I said it's going to be very close. And Trump definitely has a connection with voters here in Pennsylvania, and that's why it's going to be close," Fetterman said on CNN's "State of the Union" in November ahead of Election Day. 

"I love people that are absolutely going to vote for Trump. They're not fascists. They're not those things. I think if you go to the tickle switch, use those kinds of terms, then it's kind of hard to walk back on those things. That's kind of a word that really isn't part of the vernacular for voters. Scolding harder or clutching the pearls harder, that's never going to work for Democrats," Fetterman said.
