2023-02-09
[Gateway] This is a breaking news story.

Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman, who is a stroke survivor, has been rushed to a Washington, DC hospital.

The Daily Mail reports:

BREAKING NEWS: Senator John Fetterman is rushed to hospital after ’feeling lightheaded’ as doctors check if he’s suffered another stroke

Senator John Fetterman has been rushed to hospital this evening.

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who has suffered from a stroke on May 13 last year, is currently undergoing tests at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington DC.

A spokesperson for the politician said on Wednesday night: ’Towards the end of the Senate Democratic retreat today, Senator John Fetterman began feeling lightheaded.
"His neck goiter also complained"
’He left and called his staff, who picked him up and drove him to The George Washington University Hospital.

’Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stoke, but doctors are running more tests and John is remaining overnight for observation. He is in good spirits and talking with his staff and family.’

Fetterman suffered his stroke in May, days before Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, but he still won the race handily.

#6  It appears the Gov can appoint anyone to be the temporary Senator until the next General Election in 2024. Given how the wife has been in public behavior during the campaign and afterwards, I suspect she might not be the choice to face a general election campaign in 2024.

#5  Many of us suspected something like this would happen, within few weeks of him taking office.

Does his state allow that Governor to fill his seat if he croaks?
