US EditionConcerns Mount Over Senator John Fetterman's Health and Fitness for Office
- Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman faced growing concerns over his mental and physical health following a 2022 stroke and a 2023 hospitalization at Walter Reed Medical Center.
- These issues arose after Fetterman, once a progressive small-town mayor from Braddock, shifted politically and exhibited alarming behaviors, leading to worries among his staff and party members.
- Reports describe a contentious 2024 meeting with teachers union representatives where Fetterman repeated himself, shouted, and questioned why people were angry at him, causing visible distress among participants.
- Fetterman admitted to struggling with severe depression but told Joe Rogan in November that he had overcome those thoughts of self-harm, while his former chief of staff expressed concerns that he was neglecting his recovery plan and withdrawing from others.
- These developments have intensified scrutiny of Fetterman's fitness for office amid criticism for his cooperation with President Trump and strained ties with progressives.
