Byron York in dailyherald:
John Fetterman was sworn in as senator from Pennsylvania on Jan. 3. On Feb. 8, after 36 days in office, Fetterman was admitted to George Washington University Hospital in Washington after experiencing symptoms he and those around him feared might indicate a stroke. Tests showed he did not have a stroke, and Fetterman was released after two nights in the hospital. On Feb.
Worse, there are fears that Fetterman, by focusing on his campaign rather than his recovery, permanently damaged his health. This is from The New York Times:"After the life-changing stroke, days before the Democratic primary last year, Mr. Fetterman briefly pared down his schedule to recover. But he continued to campaign in one of the most competitive and closely watched Senate races in the nation.
Obviously, Pennsylvania Democrats wanted to defeat the Republican Senate candidate, Dr. Mehmet Oz, particularly because Oz had been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. But Fetterman was not the only Democrat who could have run against Oz. Democratic then-Rep. Conor Lamb was in the primary race and lost by double digits to Fetterman.
