Lt. Gov. John Fetterman returned to the Senate campaign trail Friday, continuing a stretch of good news for Democrats as they attempt to ride recent momentum into November.
ERIE, Pa. — after a stroke he said nearly killed him
“Thank you so much for being here tonight, thank you so much, because really tonight is about being grateful, just grateful,” Fetterman, 52, said at the start of his remarks, his voice at one point cracking with emotion. “Three months ago, my life could have ended — it’s the truth. But I’m so grateful to be here tonight.”
Fetterman previously served as the mayor of Braddock, a Pittsburgh suburb, and ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic Senate nomination in 2016. Four days before the primary back in May, Fetterman’s campaign announced that he was in the hospital recovering from a stroke, and then underwent a procedure on Election Day to have a pacemaker and defibrillator inserted. Gisele, a consistent fixture at his campaign events, served as a proxy candidate in the final days of the race.
