Fetterman Still Weeks Away From Return To Senate

Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. John Fetterman is “on a path to recovery” from clinical depression but is still expected to be away from the Senate for several weeks, a spokesperson for the senator said Monday.

  • Fetterman checked himself into the hospital earlier this month.
  • “We understand the intense interest in John’s status and especially appreciate the flood of well-wishes,” said Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello. However, as we have said this will be a weeks-long process and while we will be sure to keep folks updated as it progresses, this is all there is to give by way of an update.”
  • Fetterman is being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
  • He checked into the facility Feb. 15 amid struggles to recover from a stroke he suffered this summer.
  • Fetterman’s office has said the freshman senator has experienced depression “off and on throughout his life” but it had become severe only in recent weeks.
