Senator John Fetterman was hospitalized after a fall during an early morning walk in Braddock, Pennsylvania. He became lightheaded and fell, sustaining minor facial injuries.
Fetterman was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital where he was diagnosed with a "ventricular fibrillation flare-up." His office stated he is doing well but remains hospitalized for observation and medication adjustment.
This incident adds to a history of health challenges for Senator Fetterman, who survived a stroke during his 2022 Senate campaign. He was previously hospitalized for clinical depression and had a pacemaker and defibrillator implanted following a stroke caused by a blood clot. He has since become an advocate for mental health treatment.
