PITTSBURGH — Sen. John Fetterman is recovering after a fall on Thursday.
A spokesperson says the Democratic senator was on an early morning walk when he fell near his Braddock home. He was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital out of an abundance of caution.
Fetterman was found to have had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that caused him to feel light-headed, the spokesperson says. The fall left him with minor injuries to the face.
“If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now,” Fetterman said.
The spokesperson says Fetterman is doing well and recovering in the hospital. He will stay so that doctors can fine-tune his medication.
Fetterman is grateful for the medics, doctors and nurses who cared for him, the spokesperson says.
