  1. I hope he will be ok, he seems like a genuine American who actually cares about the country and his community, wishing him a speedy recovery.

  2. He got a good wife there. sometimes husbands can be hard headed and don’t listen to the spouse.

  3. HE IS A GOOD AMERICAN, GOD BLESS HIM, I HAD A STROKE 8 YEARS AGO, I’M STRONG , I’M HERE WITH EVERYTHING.

  4. He’ll be fine. I have AFIB and was in the hospital, some years ago, and I have medication to control it and take Eloquis. I’ve been fine since. The Eloquis is to help protect me from getting clots which is a common side effect of AFIB. Mine is not severe thankfully.

    So, seems he has AFIB and we don’t know any other details. I never felt mine, usually people do, they can feel the irregular heart beat. My brother has AFIB, his is also controlled but he will feel it when and if it happens.

    Anyway, millions of people are living normal lives with this condition. He got to the hospital quickly and that is key to not having damage. IF I was in PA and could vote for him, I would, without hesitation.

  5. That little video clip is one of many reasons people love him. Him and his wife are open and honest and aren’t always trying to put on a facade.

  6. Pa. you have a good man in Fetterman, vote him into office. America needs more like him not less!

    1. @Are You Kidding Me Literally nothing he said had anything to do with PA itself, so your comment is really bizarre.

    2. Amen. I moved to Canada, so technically I don’t care anymore, but as A proud American I don’t want to see my country fall to fascism.

  7. Mild strokes are just a warning, with proper care and proper nutrition he’ll live a long and healthy life. This a wake up call to him and his family.

    1. yeah he’s fine, prolly a gqp physician even said mild – more like mini and most people over 40 have had them whether they kow or not. It obviously wasn’t a ischemic event, he’s fine

  8. Hopefully it was a a minor TIA. A very recoverable situation. Speedy recovery John Fetterman. America needs you. Pennsylvania really needs you.

  9. My Grandma has had MANY of those “little strokes”, and she always bounces right back with no problems. I’m sure the doctors are testing him to find what part of his brain was affected and if they say he’s fine, then he is.

    1. @Jannett People get them all the time, but they are so mild that we don’t notice. But an MRI will show the little “scars” of a TIA. That is how my Grams’ TIA events were found.

  10. I completely recovered from a stroke over 10 years ago,and it’s a scary experience that will make you tired, but the fact he’s talking from the hospital is a good sign.

    1. Glad to hear that! My dad recovered from a stroke and subsequent brain surgery within 3 weeks with no issues. Stay healthy Lt. governor.
