THE FETTERMAN DILEMMA. John Fetterman was sworn in as a senator from Pennsylvania on Jan. 3. On Feb. 8, after 36 days in office, Fetterman was admitted to George Washington University Hospital in Washington after experiencing symptoms he and those around him feared might indicate a stroke. Tests showed he did not have a stroke, and Fetterman was released after two nights in the hospital. On Feb.
Worse, there are fears that Fetterman, by focusing on his campaign rather than his recovery, permanently damaged his health. This is from the New York Times:"After the life-changing stroke, days before the Democratic primary last year, Mr. Fetterman briefly pared down his schedule to recover. But he continued to campaign in one of the most competitive and closely watched Senate races in the nation.
All in all, it has not begun well. It seems obvious now that Fetterman was in no condition to begin a six-year term as a United States senator. Of course, that was obvious, at least to some people, before the election, too. But in 2022, one man's health was so caught up in politics that reasonable concerns were overwhelmed by the partisan fray. The result is a new senator, in the hospital, facing an uncertain future.
In retrospect, though, it appears that Lamb could have won the seat, just as Fetterman did, because Democrats and their allies in the media were successful in turning much of the race into a referendum on Oz — and, by extension, on Trump. After all, Fetterman won after a debate in which it was clear to all that he had not fully recovered. Voters watched it and still voted for Fetterman.
