Sen. John Fetterman is to return to the Senate Monday evening for the first time since mid-February, after a six-week hospitalization for clinical depression.
The Pennsylvania senator is expected to join a roll call vote to advance a nominee for deputy under secretary of defense, Radha Iyengar Plumb, to a confirmation vote. He'll cochair a panel hearing on Wednesday.
The highly routine moment will likely be met with outsized attention, given the Democrat's path to the U.S. Senate — suffering a stroke, winning a politically coveted open seat, and then sharing his struggles with depression and seeking treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
