Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) appeared to tear up as he got emotional during a hearing as he reflected on how Republicans “ridiculed and made fun of” him over his disability. During a committee hearing on Thursday, where witnesses with disabilities testified, Fetterman said disabilities and accessibility have been a “very personal issue” and showed an iPhone transcription app he relies on to communicate with others. Since Fetterman’s stroke in the weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania Democrat senate primary, he has had trouble with his speech. The freshman Senator from Pennsylvania suffered a stroke just days before the Democrat primary...

First-term Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman gave an odd, animated reaction to the news of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announcing an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Fetterman stopped to talk with reporter Liz Brown-Kaiser in the underbelly of the Senate and was asked about the news of McCarthy's Tuesday announcement. The Pennsylvania Democrat responded to the question in an animated fashion — as his staffer tried to get him to move along. "Oh my God, really?" Fetterman said, backing up from the news and grabbing his head. "Oh my gosh." "You know, it's devastating," the Pennsylvania Democrat continued before...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson argues Democrats don't care who occupies elected office as long they can have power on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'

Sen. John Fetterman remains hospitalized in Washington, DC, and is being monitored for signs of seizures after feeling lightheaded during a Democratic Party retreat Wednesday night. “According to John’s doctors at The George Washington University Hospital, the results of the MRI, along with the results of all of the other tests the doctors ran, rule out a new stroke,” Fetterman’s communications director Joe Calvello said in a statement Thursday. The Pennsylvania Democrat, 53, suffered a stroke in May 2022. “John is being monitored with an EEG for signs of seizure – so far there are no signs of seizure, but...

When news broke on Wednesday evening that Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) had been rushed to the hospital and was being kept “overnight” for observation, I wasn’t sure how to respond.For months on end, some of us in the conservative commentariat begged and pleaded with Pennsylvanians and the national press to take Fetterman’s health issues seriously. After all, this was a man who had a major stroke just months prior to the campaign and was essentially unintelligible in the only debate he attended.We were ignored.Oz: "Fetterman didn't pay for his own house. He got it for a dollar from his sister."Fetterman:...

@JackPosobiec BREAKING: John Fetterman has been rushed to a DC hospital. Doctors fear he may have suffered another stroke

It will be the first State of the Union address for both of them. Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) will take Philadelphian Dennis “Freedom” Horton as his guest to President Joe Biden’s address Tuesday night, underlining his commitment to criminal justice reform in his first time attending the nationally watched event. Fetterman is still establishing himself as a freshman senator, just sworn in last month, and inviting Horton for his first State of the Union sends an early signal that clemency work and second chances remain a major focus for him. Horton, along with his brother, Lee, served 28 years...

Fetterman’s victory against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz provided Democrats a flipped Senate seat on Tuesday, in which several MSNBC panelists praised him for bringing new leadership tactics to the Democratic Party. Tur floated the viability of, "Fetterman, as a nominee at some point for president," before later going on to say that his record for surpassing President Biden and former President Trump's vote share in the state. MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell declared that she had extensive experience with Pennsylvania, and praised Fetterman for making so much progress with voters.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is running for US Senate, but his floundering performance on the campaign trail has left many questioning whether he is fit to run for office — or even serve in the upper chamber of the house. [cut] Democrats who attended that speech said they are becoming uneasy about Fetterman. “Some tricky, cute tweet coming at the people of Pennsylvania again and again and again, with scarcely a word on substantive issues — if that is all his brain can remember, that is unacceptable,” one Democrat told me. “He seems to think he can ride out...

CNN warned that Democrat John Fetterman would lose the upcoming Pennsylvania Senate race this coming November if he continued refusing to “come out and play,” accusing the Democratic frontrunner of being “shielded from the media” while hiding from Pennsylvania residents following his stated unwillingness to debate his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz. Speaking with co-anchor of CNN’s Newsroom Victor Blackwell, CNN political analyst Michael Smerconish called out Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Fetterman for relying heavily on media while investing little in live appearances before crowds, saying that “in the end, I think he’s going to have to come out and play.”

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), running against Dr. Mehmet Oz for the state’s open United States Senate seat, has said that his top priority is ending life in prison without the possibility of parole for convicted criminals.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz’s campaign has seized on Democratic opponent John Fetterman’s silence on debates to continue attacking Fetterman for supposedly hiding from voters. Oz has agreed to five debates, including one scheduled in less than two weeks, but Fetterman, who suffered a stroke on May 13 and only returned to the campaign trail earlier this month, has yet to commit to any debates. “John is up for debating Oz and contrasting his plan and record with Dr. Oz so that Pennsylvania voters can get a real sense of where the candidates stand, but not on Oz’s...

Since winning the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate back in May, John Fetterman has been hidden away from public view. Just days before voting began he suffered a stroke and nearly died. He was in the hospital when the votes were tallied on Election Day. Now, when he does show up at rare campaign events, it's for just a few minutes. Usually wearing an oversized sweatshirt and basketball shorts, his appearance is sloppy. His words are even more incoherent and usually Democrat friendly media outlets are starting to take notice. CNN: "Legitimate questions do remain about Fetterman's health” after...
