John Fetterman defended Donald Trump\u2019s Iran ceasefire deal against Democrats who mocked it with a \u201cTACO\u201d chant, arguing that the U.S. has achieved meaningful military progress against Iran and should focus on finishing what\u2019s been started rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michigan-ag-absolutely-enough-evidence-to-charge-2020-gop-electors-seemingly-part-of-a-bigger-conspiracy\/\" title=\"Michigan AG: \u2018Absolutely...
