Pennsylvania Lt. Governor and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman on Sunday said he had suffered a stroke late last week but was on the way to “a full recovery.”
“On Friday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out,” Fetterman said in a statement released from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital.
“I hadn’t been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going. On Friday it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long,” he explained.
“The good news is I’m feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn’t suffer any cognitive damage. I’m well on my way to a full recovery,” Fetterman added.

Fetterman wasn’t willing to go to the hospital, but his wife made sure he did. By getting him to the hospital quickly, he was saved from major damage and could recover quickly.
Wishing him well.
PA Senate candidate John Fetterman will be undergoing a procedure to implant a pacemaker after he suffered a stroke late last week. The development comes as voting in the state's Senate primary is ongoing with polls closing later today. https://t.co/dPq5gj7tFm
