Sen. John Fetterman Discharged from Hospital After Tests and Observation, On Road to Recovery

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was released from the hospital Friday after two days of tests and observation. Fetterman had been admitted to George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. after feeling lightheaded following a lawmakers’ retreat earlier that day.

According to Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, the senator underwent a CT, CTA, and MRI tests, as well as an EEG test, to rule out a stroke. The results of all of the tests came back normal, with no evidence of seizures.

Fetterman was elected to the Senate in November while recovering from a stroke he had suffered in May. Calvello said in a statement that the senator was “looking forward to returning to the Senate on Monday” following his discharge from the hospital around 5 p.m. ET.

The senator’s office has not released any further details about the cause of Fetterman’s lightheadedness. However, his release from the hospital is a positive sign that he is on the road to recovery.
