The Keystone State Senator is finally back at work —but is he ready?
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) returned to the Capitol on Monday looking like he may need a few more weeks’ worth of rest; he didn’t respond to reporter questions, but did say “It’s great to be back.”

This is the first time Fetterman has been at the Capitol since mid-February when he left to seek treatment for clinical depression. Fetterman reportedly continued to work while resting in the hospital for six weeks.
From Reuters:
Known for his progressive politics — as well as his shaved head and tattooed frame — Fetterman flipped a Republican-held seat in November’s midterm elections, six months after suffering a near-fatal stroke. His win expanded Democrats’ majority by one seat to 51-49.
Fetterman’s office said he will chair a hearing on Wednesday on the federal government’s food stamp program, SNAP.
