U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat who suffered a stroke during his campaign last year, was hospitalized Wednesday night after feeling lightheaded while attending a Senate Democratic retreat, his office said.

Initial tests at George Washington University Hospital did not show evidence of a new stroke, Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a statement issued Wednesday night. Doctors were running more tests and the senator remained at the hospital for observation, according to the statement.

[Best wishes for a full recovery, of course, but Pennsylvania voters made a risky choice in Fetterman last year. They certainly had options, in both the primary and the general election, even though Fetterman’s team hid the risk for months from those voters. One has to wonder why Fetterman’s family chose to risk his health rather than have Democrats replace him on the ticket with Conor Lamb, too. — Ed]
