Sen. John Fetterman was discharged Friday from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where for the past month and a half the Pennsylvania Democrat had been receiving treatment for major depression in the neuropsychiatry unit.
Fetterman is back home in Braddock, Pa., and will spend the two-week Easter/Passover recess in his district. He plans to return to the Senate the week of April 17.
“I am so happy to be home. I’m excited to be the father and husband I want to be, and the senator Pennsylvania deserves,” Fetterman said in a statement. “Pennsylvanians have always had my back, and I will always have theirs.”
