Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman remained hospitalized Thursday evening; doctors rule out a second stroke

PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman remained hospitalized Thursday evening and was being monitored for signs of a seizure after checking himself into a Washington hospital Wednesday night because he was feeling lightheaded.

His office said Thursday evening that doctors at George Washington University hospital had ruled out a second stroke, following the one he had in May, after reviewing the results of an MRI and other tests.

“He is being monitored with an EEG for signs of seizure — so far there are no signs of seizure, but he is still being monitored,” Fetterman spokesperson Joe Calvello said in a statement. “We will continue to provide information as it comes in, and we will have more updates as we get them.”
