Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said that President Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, is comprised of the “best of us” and that it should be celebrated regardless of where one might stand on the political spectrum.

“This parade is comprised of our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers—the very best of us,” Fetterman wrote in a Saturday post on social media platform X. “Regardless of your politics, it’s appropriate to celebrate the 250 years of sacrifice, dedication and service.”

Fetterman demonstrated rare Democratic support for the parade that is taking place on Trump’s 79th birthday. The parade has drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans over the expected cost of the festivities, projected to be between $25 and $45 million.

“We’re a lion, and a lion doesn’t have to tell you it’s a lion,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said on Tuesday. “I would save the money, but if the president wants to have a parade, he’s the president, and I’m not.”
