Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman hospitalized overnight in Washington

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized overnight "for observation" after feeling lightheaded, but did not show any signs of suffering another stroke, his office announced late Wednesday night.

"Towards the end of the Senate Democratic retreat today, Senator John Fetterman began feeling lightheaded. 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 stroke, but doctors are running more tests and John is remaining overnight for observation," Joe Calvello, Fetterman's communications director, said in the statement.

It's been less than a year since Fetterman suffered a stroke he said almost killed him. Despite being off the campaign trail for nearly three months, Fetterman handily defeated his Republican opponent, celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, in November.
