Senate candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman fills out his emergency absentee ballot for the Pennsylvania primary election in Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pa., on Election Day, Tuesday, May, 17, 2022. | Bobby Maggio via APLt. Gov. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania will have a procedure on Tuesday to implant a pacemaker after suffering from a stroke last week, according to a statement from his campaign.
The announcement that Fetterman is about to undergo the procedure comes just hours before polls are set to close in Pennsylvania, where he’s had a sizable lead in the polls to win the Democratic nomination in the state’s U.S. Senate primary. He’s facing other candidates including Rep.“John Fetterman is about to undergo a standard procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator,” his campaign said in a statement on Tuesday.
Fetterman’s campaign announced on Sunday that he’d had a stroke on Friday, after his weekend schedule was cleared without explanation. Fetterman credited his wife, Gisele, for noticing the symptoms early and taking him to the hospital. “The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke; they got my heart under control as well,” he said, adding that he did not have “cognitive damage.”
I like him but this is the end of his run.

Wishing him a speedy recovery
He is 52.
Please be well. We need you
I have a friend in construction who has a pacemeaker so I'm thinking Fett wil be fine. Certainly hope so, we sure could use him in the senate where things are NOT moving along like they should.
John Fetterman is 52 and has young kids. You can live a full, productive life with a pacemaker and good medical advice l. i look forward to John's tenure in the senate and an issues oriented November election. john's heart is Pennsylvania. A new start.
