Fetterman defends shaking Trump's hand: 'Left's behavior won't help our cause
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said Democrats' tough stance on Trump will only harm their cause after being the lone Democrat to shake hands with the president at Tuesday's State of the Union address. Fetterman believed that refusing to engage with Trump would not help the left's position.
Senator John Fetterman, the only Democrat to shake hands with President Trump at Tuesday's State of the Union, argued that the left's behavior will not help its cause. Fetterman believes shaking hands with Trump sends a message that Democrats are open to dialogue and willing to put aside differences. The move has been seen as a pragmatic approach by some Democrats who feel it could help build bridges between parties. However, others have criticized Fetterman for compromising on his values.
