Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has suggested that it is his duty to meet with President-elect Donald Trump's nominees, noting that his decision about whether to vote to confirm the candidates will stem from an open mind and informed perspective.
"I believe that it’s appropriate and the responsibility of a U.S. Senator to have a conversation with President-elect Trump's nominees. That’s why I met with Elise Stefanik and Pete Hegseth, just wrapped with Tulsi Gabbard, and look forward to my meetings with others soon," Fetterman declared in a post on X.
"My votes will come from an open-mind and an informed opinion after having a conversation with them. That’s not controversial, it's my job," he continued.
