Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), who is also running for the state's Democratic Senate nomination, announced on Sunday that he suffered a stroke on Friday.
"I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long," Fetterman said in a statement. "The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke. They got my heart under control as well."
