WGAL News 8 has learned that Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman is currently at Lancaster General Hospital being treated.
This comes on the heals of several public events that were cancelled over the weekend.
Statement From Lt. Governor John Fetterman
Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman released the following statement from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital:
“On Friday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t want to go – I didn’t think I had to – but Gisele insisted, and as usual, she was right. I hadn't been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going. On Friday it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long. Fortunately, Gisele spotted the symptoms and got me to the hospital within minutes. The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke, they got my heart under control as well. It's a good reminder to listen to your body and be aware of the signs.
“The good news is I’m feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn’t suffer any cognitive damage. I’m well on my way to a full recovery. So I have a lot to be thankful for. They’re keeping me here for now for observation, but I should be out of here sometime soon. 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. There’s so much at stake in this race, and I’m going to be ready for the hard fight ahead.
“But our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday, and flip this Senate seat in November. Thanks for all the support, and please get out there and vote.”
The kick-ass staff and doctors at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health are working closely and constantly with our campaign team to ensure there is only one voice speaking on behalf of John. They have been extremely supportive and helpful over the course of the past couple days.
WGAL News 8 will continue to follow this breaking story and will have developments throughout the night.

Too much weed, I’d suspect.
wow a stroke. I think the pressure may have been in play. But I can say I have had relatives who had mini strokes and then the big one after that killed them.
VAX!
Probably needs to rethink getting any more clot shots.
I am presuming he is a democrat socialist given the story didn’t mention party, and thus, skip a chance to demonize awful horrible republicans.
Yeah, I think it is disgusting about that crap being used at all in the first place. But to do it at work should be cause for removal of office.
So he hud this since Friday?
He is a democrat
Probably a drinker, too.
HOW MANY shots & boosters did he get??
Does question if he is healthy enough for the job. He is a big guy and overweight.
He looks like a giant! Reminds me of the wrestler Andre the Giant. Probably eats to much and drinks like a sieve.
“Coming on the ‘heals’”
Well, yes and no.
He is 6’9” same height as the recently captured escaped convict.
Isn’t this the guy who had the hammer and sickle in his social media cover photo?
I was brought up not to say anything at all if I have nothing good to say so...
He’s a one trick pony obsessed with legalizing recreational pot.
The guy is 6’7” and weighs 300 pounds. Looks like a World Wrestling villain. His brain is custom made for the Frankenstein monster. As bad as he is, he will still beat Oz for the senate seat. Pennsylvania is not going to vote for a Muslim who has loyalties to Turkey. No way.
