stroke
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the commonwealth's open Senate seat, was released from a hospital today nine days after he checked in and was found to have suffered a stroke.

Fetterman won his Democratic Senate primaryon Tuesday while in the hospital in Lancaster and underwent a nearly three-hour surgery the same day to implant a defibrillator.

Fetterman said in a statement that he is headed back to his home in Braddock in Western Pennsylvania to rest and recover.

"I am feeling great, but per my doctor's orders, and Gisele's orders, I am going to continue to rest and recover," he said, referring to his wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman.

"Later this week I will have a follow-up visit with my doctors at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital."
