"SNIP......

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) – Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman will return to the campaign trail more than two months after suffering a stroke.

Fetterman, who currently serves as the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, will join the Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania for a reception in Wynnewood, Montgomery County, on July 21. Tickets for the private event range from $100-$2,900.

Fetterman has not been seen or spoken publicly since suffering the stroke prior to the May 17 primary election. The Lt. Governor, who has released videos on social media since being hospitalized, said he “almost died” after ignoring warning signs for years and not taking his medicine.

........

Fetterman’s campaign said in a statement that the stroke was caused by a clot from his “heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long.” His campaign says doctors believe he didn’t “suffer any cognitive damage” and that he’s “feeling much better.”

He'll be a fine addition to the senate... I'm glad he is going to win there.

He's been out and about at stores and on his daily walk and at restaurants. He has even tweeted his going around locally visiting folks (especially anyone in his area spotted with a Fetterman lawn sign).

I hate the characterizations.

Glad to see him back out there for the "media" to "see". He obviously scares the hell out of them.

I'll just leave this here -




John Fetterman

As a general rule of thumb, celebrity TV doctors with over $100 million in asset$ + several properties NOT IN PA don’t usually fight for working people. 🙃

Who’s there?

If you live in PA + have a #TeamFetterman yard sign in your front yard, it might just be me + G 😁

****
Not me (and @JohnFetterman ) parking every time we pass a sign and knocking on your door 😅

if you're connected to him and his campaign, you would be getting messages (and, of course, pleas for $$$) daily.
That's OK - that's what it takes to win. But what I think is super is that every 'message' is related to his positions - his beliefs - and his vision for what he wants to do for Pennsylvania AND the Federal government.

Imagine that - a 'politician' that has a plan and a vision - perhaps a rarer sight than the sighting of Sasquatch....

Go John - You 'Da MAN!!!!!!
