PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is working from home, according to the senator's official account on X.
Fetterman posted a message to X on Sunday afternoon, saying he is "experiencing mild symptoms" and is "following the appropriate CDC guidance."
The full posting said, "After a busy week in D.C., I've tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing mild symptoms. I'm grateful to be fully vaccinated and will be working from home, following the appropriate CDC guidance."
Fetterman's health has been a focus on the political scene in the past. In 2022, while running for Senate, Fetterman suffered a stroke. A year later, he received care for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was hospitalized there for six weeks.
In an interview in May 2023 with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano, Fetterman attributed the depression not only to his stroke, but also to what he calls a brutal campaign for the Senate seat he eventually won.
"It was after the brutality of the campaign, the other side," Fetterman said. "Some people believe it was one of the most vicious political campaigns."
When he returned to the Senate in April of last year, he earned praise from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for seeking the help he needed and encouraging others to do the same.
When asked on "CBS Mornings" what advice he'd give to others in a similar circumstance, Fetterman said, "get help — it works."
The Pennsylvania Democrat noted that he had been skeptical before he sought treatment, saying that he thought nothing would help.
"But it did. And it worked," he said.

First test he’s passed in a long time.
Oh noes he has the sniffles
Did he test positive for brain activity?
Oh so he has a cold. Got it.
He is grateful for the “vaccine” which, if he is lucky, did nothing.
The only guy who actually stood by Biden.
He’s “grateful to be fully vaccinated”? Anyone else see the irony?
Covid-19 is one of naturally occurring coronaviruses, it will always circulate in the world now.
The difference is that the virus is no longer lethal.
He should isolate for 2 weeks to reduce the spread, and take 9 vaccination shots.
My pet rock tests positive too.
Fetterman is a bit of a rebel. Perhaps he could use his recovery time to delve into where the Covid virus really came from.
Covid killed millions, and disrupted entire economics. Yet nobody in power seems to be interested in the details of where it came from.
🤷♂️
“I’m grateful to be fully vaccinated”
Gratuitous gaslighting.
Great point.
BS on steroids.
Good acronym.
Here it comes again, that feeling
Here it comes again
What does he mean “fully vaccinated”? Current guidelines would put him on shot #9 to be “fully vaccinated.”
Has he actually had all of them?
Or did he smartly quit after 3, or so?
If he quit after 3, he has no current benefit from those earlier gene injection (not there was any benefit from 4 to 9 either, but you get the point).
Is he an anti-vaxxer now because he is not on shot #9?
Folks that are not on shot #9 now are just arriving at where us critical thinkers were at shot #0.
I would have more respect for him if he actually was on shot #9, frankly. At least he would have the courage of his convictions...
Those shots are going to kill him.
