Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was hospitalized Wednesday night for lightheadedness he experienced during a Senate retreat; “towards the end of the Senate Democratic retreat today, Senator John Fetterman began feeling lightheaded,” a statement from his office read.
Fetterman’s office confirmed in the statement he was in “good spirits and talking with his staff and family.” The hospitalization does not appear to be related to previous complications from a stroke.
“He left and called his staff, who picked him up and drove him to The George Washington University Hospital. Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke, but doctors are running more tests and John is remaining overnight for observation,” it continued.
“We will provide more information when we have it,” it concluded.
From Fox News:
Fetterman, 53, suffered a stroke in 2022, during his senatorial campaign against Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Oz made the Democrat’s health a major focus of the campaign, though Fetterman won the contest with 50.5% of the vote. He received 2.64 million votes to Oz’s 2.46 million.
Fetterman was sworn into office on Jan. 3.
