The 52-year-old Fetterman, who confirmed that he has been hospitalized all weekend, insisted the health emergency wasn’t slowing his campaign. But the stunning revelation, just two days before Pennsylvania’s primary election, created a cloud of uncertainty over the Democratic front-runner’s candidacy in what may be one of the party’s best Senate pickup opportunities. In a short video released by his campaign, a seated Fetterman, speaking clearly, explained that “I just wasn’t feeling very well” on Friday and that he decided to go to the hospital at the urging of his wife. He detailed the situation further in a written statement.
“I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long,” Fetterman said. He said the doctors were able to remove the clot, “reversing the stroke,” and got his heart under control.
“The good news is I’m feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn’t suffer any cognitive damage,” he said in the statement.
Questions about Fetterman’s health swirled throughout the weekend after he canceled scheduled public appearances Friday, Saturday and Sunday. His campaign cited a health issue but was not specific until Sunday.
Fetterman did not say how much longer he would be in the hospital.
“They’re keeping me here for now for observation, but I should be out of here sometime soon,” he said in the statement. “The doctors have assured me that I’ll be able to get back on the trail, but first I need to take a minute, get some rest, and recover.”

And proudly vaxxed.
He didn’t report it until now so he got 48 more hours of early voting.
Typical
Based on the polling where he leads 53% to Connor Lamb 16%, even if he pulled out, etc. today, he would win the primary. You don’t turn that shup around in two days.
Recovering from Stroke in 48-72hrs? Seems VERY suspicious.
Dems were willing to vote your “veggie-mind” Biden, so they will have no problem voting for this guy.
How does one reverse a stroke?
“safe and effective”
Now he sounds like Biden
Check with Whoopi on whether this was a actual stroke-stroke or just gas.
I think they mean they reversed the afib he was in.
The Clot Shot hits anothone.
Philly has some of the dirtiest voting in the country.
I think he needs a booster.....
The stroke might have been pretty minor and the clot dissolved by drugs.
He might have been feeling unwell because of the atrial fibrillation or perhaps atrial flutter. Once that is under control, there’s little point being in the hospital.
Look up and read about stent retrievers for stroke. Amazing results in a number of studies.
Back stroke?
Fettermsn will be a better primary win than Conor Lamb, current officeholder.
