The Pennsylvania senator, who had a stroke last year on the campaign trail, was in good spirits after feeling light-headed at a Democratic retreat.
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who had a stroke during his campaign last year, remained hospitalized and was undergoing tests after feeling lightheaded, with tests so far negative for another stroke or seizure, his office said Thursday evening.
An MRI at George Washington University Hospital, along with other tests run by doctors, ruled out a new stroke, Fetterman’s communications director Joe Calvello said in a statement.
Fetterman was being monitored with an electroencephalogram — that measures brainwaves — for signs of a seizure, Calvello said.
“So far there are no signs of seizure, but he is still being monitored,” Calvello said.
Calvello gave no indication about when Fetterman might leave the hospital, but he said late Wednesday that Fetterman was “in good spirits and talking with his staff and family.
