PITTSBURGH — Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat, was discharged Sunday from the Lancaster hospital where he had been staying since suffering a stroke earlier this month.
In a statement late Sunday morning, Fetterman, 52, said he was “feeling great” but would spend the coming days resting at home on the advice of his doctors (and his wife, Gisele Fetterman). He said he will make a follow-up visit to Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital later in the week.
“I could not be happier to finally be heading home to be with my family. ... I want to take a moment and thank everyone; Gisele, myself, and the kids have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from folks across the commonwealth,” Fetterman said.
