Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is keeping up with his work while being treated for severe clinical depression at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a dozen miles from the U.S. Capitol.
Sen. John Fetterman departs the Senate Floor following a vote on Capitol Hill, on Feb. 15, 2023.
“We were honest with people about what’s going on, we put it out there,” said Adam Jentleson, his chief of staff. “The attacks will be what they’re going to be, but the attacks aren’t going to be any worse if he was in a few extra weeks. The main thing is for him to come out and not have to go back.”
Yet his absence from the Senate has caught the attention of detractors who have publicly questioned Fetterman’s condition and suggested that his diagnosis renders him unfit to serve. Meetings with constituent groups have continued as usual, albeit without the traditional few minutes of glad-handing by the senator at the end. But in the Senate, a staff-run institution even in the best of times, that is hardly atypical.
“If the rail safety bill were to come to the floor while he’s out, his physical presence would be helpful in whipping votes,” Jentleson said. But with Republicans balking at supporting a measure that would increase regulations, that situation is unlikely.
