MYSTERY SWIRLS AS FETTERMAN CO-SPONSORS LEGISLATION WHILE HOSPITALIZED FOR DEPRESSION: 'VERY UNUSUAL'Fetterman's health was under scrutiny after he suffered a stroke while campaigning for the Pennsylvania seat. Fetterman was already struggling to adjust to Senate life when he was hospitalized in February for clinical depression.

It is reasonable to ask if Senator Fetterman can ever resume his duties, and if so, at what magnitude.

In 2019, McConnell tripped and fell at his home in Kentucky, suffering a shoulder fracture that required surgery. At the start of the COVID-19 crisis, McConnell opened up about his early childhood experience fighting polio. First elected in 1984, McConnell in January became the longest-serving Senate leader when the new Congress convened, breaking the previous record of 16 years.
