Democratic Senator John Fetterman surprised by appearing at the Republican National Convention and praising Donald Trump, at an event aimed at strengthening the Republican Party and the incumbent president.
The main message conveyed during the convention was to "always reject the extremes of socialism," a position that contrasts with the usual stance of the Democratic Party.
This appearance by Fetterman represents another sign of his progressive distancing from the Democratic Party, the party he officially still belongs to.
The event sought to project Republican unity around Trump, and the unexpected presence of a prominent Democrat reinforces this narrative of bipartisan support for the president.
