Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman back campaigning, after three month absence from stroke

Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman made a return to the campaign trail, after taking a three-month hiatus from in-person events due to a stroke he suffered in May.

Mr. Fetterman, who is the current Lt. Gov. for Pennsylvania, held a rally for more than 1,000 people in Erie on Friday, zeroing in on his health problems and absence from his race against GOP nominee Mehmet Oz.

“My life could have ended. It’s the truth. But, I’m so grateful to be here tonight. Gisele saved my life,” Mr. Fetterman said, thanking his wife who noticed early signs of him having a stroke.
