U.S. Senator John Fetterman experienced a health scare on Thursday morning, resulting in his hospitalization. According to his spokesperson, the fall occurred during an early walk when Fetterman faced a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, leading to light-headedness and a minor injury.

Fetterman is widely recognized for his casual appearance, often seen in a hoodie, and his sometimes defiant stance within his party. Recently, he stood with Republicans in a bipartisan effort to end the government shutdown, marking his unique position in the Senate.

The Senator's health has been a point of public interest, as he has previously faced significant challenges, including a near-fatal stroke before his election and hospitalization for clinical depression about a year into his term.
