Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman's revelation about an undisclosed heart condition and recovery from a recent stroke that has made him absent from the campaign trail has many Democrats worried. CNN's Jeff Zeleny reports. #CNN #News
John, you got this. Take case of yourself and in the same breath continue to fight hard for your constituents. They need you. We need you. God bless you!
Maybe he should go see Dr. Oz

FINALLY!!!😃✌🏻❤️here is finally ✌🏻
@Jay Mass that would be a disaster!
@Jamtommy Don’t tease me like that.
We need Fetterman! His health issues are something that many families go through. We all have ignored whats best our health due to many road blocks including our own denial.
Come on we have ancient people in Congress. He just needs to take time to heal and be open & honest with his recovery.
Thank you
John you got this, continue to fight hard!! we all have our respective battles, I am going through a financial crisis,I have been hoping on the stimulus check… any suggestions on what I can put my money into to get good outcome?
Yeah you can vote republicans
I’m a left leaning independent 🤦🏽♂️ bro this needs to be a conversation of men not taking care of themselves and being honest in this arena of men health preventative care on health care
I am in PA and this is the guy you want to represent you. He is not the first to have medical issues and be in a race for an office.
Wait so we are supposed to be worried about his heart condition when technically he should only be in that position for 4 years anyway? Besides what difference does it make that he has a heart condition? Your headline is literally telling me that he isn’t qualified specifically because he has a heart condition and could pass away at any time? Let me get this straight, if you have a health condition you shouldn’t be eligible for government position? Is that what your saying here?
No. It’s not about eligibility. The concern is that he will not be healthy enough to continue his campaign, and possibly not healthy enough to serve effectively if elected.
@eemoogee No, that was not my point.
His defibrillator could be designed to defibrillate the atrial portion of the heart and not the larger ventricles such as would be for someone who suffered a heart attack. Atrial fibrillation is confined to the atrias and is the reason clots can form. Light current defibrillation is a common treatment to stop the upper part of the heart from quivering. Not as big a deal as if the ventricals were involved.
Drug eliquis works. I also have afib
Every conceivable best wish to John Fetterman & his family, please recover quickly & heed your doctors`advice, your strong will shall prevail.
Not disclosing potential health issues will be a problem going forward.
@Ret Tro yeah except everyone is more concerned with the health of the people in their late 70s and early 80s like Trump Pelosi Biden McConnell and Schumer
What health issues do they have that we don’t know about??????
What’s this bugging Fetterman to tell all about his condition? Bernie Sanders had the same thing happen to him and he is still going on. People need privacy and time to recover. Just chill and stop making an issue of this. He and his family are going through a difficult time. Praying that he has a quick and full recovery.
I’m more concerned about the health of people in their late 70s and early 80s like trump pelosi Biden McConnell and schumer
Don’t let this heart episode sway you.
My husband had this happen to him and he is back to normal after just a few weeks of recovery. We are a few years after the stroke, which was down graded to TIA. Easy to look up. Pennsylvania needs this man. He is the right man for the job. Do your homework.
Mine too!
Going back to normal life is much different than political life. My clients spend at least 50 to 60 hours a week while they are in DC and while they are at home on political issues. A man with his health issues cannot fully devote the time necessary. Politics is much different than that of a normal every day table light. Or his own sake and the end of his family he needs to retire from politics immediately.

“America has the laws and the material resources it takes to ensure justice for all its people. What it lacks is the heart, the humanity, the love that it would take. It is perhaps unrealistic to hope that I can help give this nation any of those things, but that is what I believe I have to try to do.”
She was a legendary Presidential candidate who was “un-bought and unbossed”. Her speeches are worth watching even now.
I hope he has a speedy recovery. I really hope the Democrats don’t abandon Fetterman… Unfortunately, I don’t live in PA. I almost moved to PA, but it’s still hopefully in my future to move there… and Fetterman would be a great incentive for me to move there sooner. He’s good for PA and for this country.
I hope he gets better soon.he is a good man.and we need men like him he is not greedy and selfish like republicans who only want everything for themselves and nothing for the USA.
Get real, folks. Fetterman has been strong all along the way. What a refreshing experience, except the Republicans.
Even with a stroke/heart attack he’s better than what we have had and what he’s running against
I agree.
His wife is precious, and so is he. Sending love your way!
I would vote for him, even if he was in a hospital bed.. He is the BEST hope we have to get things up to speed in PA.. He will be fine.
He stated very clearly, this was something he’d ignored for too long.
Like many men do.
Like many people do.
I just had my device replaced, along with 3 wires to my heart. I was told 4-6 weeks to recovery and ability to travel. Also, like any recovery and heart related health issues it takes good heart healthy diet, regular exercise, and sometimes meds.
There are several scenarios that could have led to that night. I’m sure once he recovers he’ll be out there telling it like it is-as he always has.
Speaking from personal experience? I feel like a million bucks now that my device is pacing/capturing my 💖
Praying for you John, you got this . Get well soon wishes from Germany.💙💙💙
