Case
Relationship to this case: Speaker
At the September 9, 2026 Republican convention, Democratic Senator John Fetterman introduced Republican Senator Dave McCormick and promised cooperation with President Trump on Pennsylvania steel. Supporters welcomed bipartisanship; critics called it campaign-stage help for an administration Fetterman’s voters expected him to oppose.
