• US Senator John Fetterman was transferred to the hospital.
• The spokesperson revealed the Democrat asked to be hospitalized after feeling dizzy.
• Fetterman suffered from a stroke last year.

Testing reveals that US Senator John Fetterman, who had a stroke last year, did not have a new stroke after being transported to the hospital late on Wednesday after feeling dizzy. His office announced this in a statement on Thursday.

According to his spokesman Joe Calvello, the 53-year-old Pennsylvania Democrat requested to be taken to a hospital in Washington after feeling dizzy at a Senate Democratic retreat.

“The results of the MRI, along with the results of all of the other tests the doctors ran, rule out a new stroke,” Calvello said.

According to the spokeswoman, Fetterman continues to be under observation at George Washington Hospital.

“He is being monitored with an EEG for signs of seizure – so far there are no signs of seizure, but he is still being monitored,” Calvello said.

While running for one of the two US Senate seats in the crucial electoral swing state last year, Fetterman suffered a stroke.

The stroke initially left Fetterman with persistent speech and hearing issues that occasionally result in linguistic slip-ups, but the politician could continue to hold office without any restrictions as long as he followed recovery guidelines, according to Fetterman’s doctor.

In a statement about his recovery last year, Fetterman claimed that despite having a cardiac issue for years prior, he had stopped taking his medicine, put off seeing a doctor, and disregarded warning flags.
