CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju provided an update on Tuesday regarding the mental health of Democratic Sen. John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, but it was met with skepticism by many.
Fetterman had a stroke last May, just before winning the Democratic primary by a large margin. During the general election, the extent of the stroke was revealed as the state’s then-lieutenant governor faced difficulties in basic communication. That was especially evident during a debate he had with Trump-backed GOP opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, as viewers saw how hard it was for Fetterman to get his thoughts across and communicate, even with the help of closed-captioning tech, the Western Journal noted.
Eventually, Fetterman went on to win a close election in November, flipping a previously Republican-held seat to the Democrats, but he has had difficulties performing his duties ever since.
