Media whitewashed Fetterman health issues during election, uncurious about lengthy absence from Capitol

MYSTERY SWIRLS AS FETTERMAN CO-SPONSORS LEGISLATION WHILE HOSPITALIZED FOR DEPRESSION: 'VERY UNUSUAL'Fetterman's health was under scrutiny after he suffered a stroke while campaigning for the Pennsylvania seat. Fetterman was already struggling to adjust to Senate life when he was hospitalized in February for clinical depression. It featured voices speculating Fetterman had aphasia, an auditory processing disorder, while admitting he'd released "very little information about his health." "Morning Joe" regular John Heilemann said that in hindsight, Fetterman’s health issues ended up being an advantage in the U.S Senate race. It is reasonable to ask if Senator Fetterman can ever resume his duties, and if so, at what magnitude.
