Fetterman: ‘I’m Not Rooting Against’ Trump, ‘I Hope’ He’s Successful

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said during an interview over the weekend that he was not rooting against President-elect Donald Trump because doing so would mean that he was rooting against America.

Fetterman made the remarks during a Sunday ABC News interview on “This Week” with Jonathan Karl, while also talking about what he expects over the next four years.

When asked if he thought that Trump had the potential to be a “good” and “successful” president, Fetterman responded: “I hope.”

“I hope, because I’m not rooting against him,” he said. “If you’re rooting against the president, you are rooting against the nation. And I’m not ever going to be where I want a president to fail. So, country first. I know that’s become maybe like a cliche, but it happens to be truth.”

Fetterman described himself as “just a regular Democrat” and said that he had no plans on leaving the party despite being accused of acting like a Republican by meeting with Trump’s nominees.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
