John Fetterman to Pennsylvanians: 'I will never let you down'
John Fetterman speaks to Pennsylvanians following his victory over Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Keystone State's critical Senate race.
Sen. John Fetterman has been hospitalized overnight following lightheadedness he experienced at a Senate retreat Wednesday.
"Towards the end of the Senate Democratic retreat today, Senator John Fetterman began feeling lightheaded," a statement from his office read.
The office said Fetterman, D-Pa., was in "good spirits and talking with his staff and family."
The hospitalization does not appear to be related to his previous stroke, the statement added.

"We will provide more information when we have it," it concluded.
