Two top Democratic senators said Wednesday that they believe Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman is fit to serve, despite worries about the effects of a stroke he suffered earlier this year. "Yes, I do," Sen.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said when asked if he thinks Fetterman's health is good enough to be a senator. Fetterman until recently avoided in-person interviews due to audio processing issues resulting from his stroke.
But Durbin said he spoke directly with the candidate this week. "I was on the phone with him yesterday, had a long conversation with him," Durbin said. "I've seen him in Chicago, invited him to come in for a fundraiser.
John is ready for this job." John Fetterman, lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and Democratic Senate candidate, had a stroke earlier this year that's caused him to have trouble processing audio.
