John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, has released a doctor's note saying he's recovering well from a stroke in May.
John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, released a doctor's note Wednesday saying he is recovering well from a May stroke as he vies for an open seat in a bare-knuckle campaign against Republican Mehmet Oz, who has questioned Fetterman's fitness to serve.
In the one-page letter, Dr. Clifford Chen noted that Fetterman continues to endure effects of the stroke that involve speech and being able to respond quickly. But he said Fetterman exhibited no effects on his "cognitive ability" or his ability to think and reason after the stroke, which occurred just days before the primary election.
