Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is scheduled to return to the Senate the week of April 17 after weeks of treatment for depression.
Mr. Fetterman, a Democrat, checked into the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in February.
Mr. Fetterman’s return will be a welcome sign for Democrats, who’ve struggled to hold together their slim majority because of absences.On the Republican side, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is working from home and plans to return “soon” after suffering a concussion and minor rib fracture in a fall in Washington.
Republicans at the time urged Mr. Fetterman to be more transparent about his health issues. He’s contended with auditory processing issues that require him to use a device that transcribes spoken words in real time.
