Senator John Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Wednesday night to be treated for clinical depression, the Pennsylvania Democrat’s office said in a statement.
Fetterman, who suffered a stroke last year, was admitted to another hospital last week after feeling lightheaded. He was back in the Senate and voting this week.
