EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — Just days after suffering a stroke, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman cast an emergency absentee ballot from a Lancaster hospital.
According to a release from his campaign, Fetterman cast his primary election vote from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital.
Fetterman, 52, released a video on social media this past weekend appearing to be in good spirits at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. In a statement, Fetterman’s campaign said on Friday he was not feeling well and had a stroke caused by a clot from his “heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long.”
Fetterman’s wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, appeared in-person at a polling place in Braddock to vote.
