PHILADELPHIA — Sen. John Fetterman was released from the hospital late Friday afternoon after checking himself in on Wednesday with lightheadedness. Fetterman’s office said that doctors ruled out another stroke and that he was expected to return to the Senate when the chamber is back in session on Monday.
“A few minutes ago, Senator John Fetterman was discharged from The George Washington University Hospital,” spokesman Joe Calvello said. “In addition to the CT, CTA, and MRI tests ruling out a stroke, his EEG test results came back normal, with no evidence of seizures. John is looking forward to spending some time with his family and returning to the Senate on Monday.”
Fetterman suffered a stroke less than a year ago that he said almost killed him. He went to the hospital this week after feeling unwell at an all-day Democratic retreat. Calvello said Wednesday night that Fetterman was “in good spirits and talking with his staff and family.”
