spokesperson for Fetterman<\/a> said that during an early morning walk in Braddock, Fetterman fell. <\/p>\nOut of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh,” the spokesperson said. “Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.”<\/p>\n
The spokesperson also issued a message directly from Fetterman, who appeared to joke about the incident.<\/p>\n
If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!” Fetterman said. <\/p>\n
The senator is doing well and being routinely observed at the hospital. The spokesperson said Fetterman opted to stay so “doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.”<\/p>\n
“Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care,” the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
Fetterman experienced a stroke in 2022 during his campaign for Senate and was hospitalized in 2023 for feeling light-headed. <\/p>\n
He had returned home this week after voting on Monday to reopen the government with his Republican colleagues. <\/p>\n
