Sen. John Fetterman<\/u>, D-Pa., was hospitalized on Thursday after he fell near his home in Pennsylvania, a spokesperson for the senator said.<\/p>\n
‘During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh,’ the spokesperson said. ‘Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.’<\/p>\n
The spokesperson added that Fetterman is currently ‘doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital.’ The spokesperson also shared a statement from Fetterman, in which the senator jokes about the incident.<\/p>\n
‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ Fetterman said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fetterman was choosing to stay at the hospital so that doctors could adjust his medication treatment, according to the spokesperson.<\/p>\n
Fetterman has battled health issues in the past, the most high-profile being a somewhat debilitating stroke during his 2022 Senate campaign.<\/p>\n
Fetterman has made headlines recently over breaking with the majority of Democrats during the government shutdown, voting to reopen the federal government.<\/p>\n
