Fetterman, already at odds with his party, makes surprise video for GOP convention

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., is displayed on a screen as he delivers a video message during the Republican National Midterm Convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Wednesday.

The Pennsylvania Democrat has already had a strained relationship with many inside his party. In the video, he spoke about working with Trump but did not outright praise him.
