John Fetterman, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and frontrunner in the state's Democratic US Senate primary, suffered a stroke Friday, and is recovering, he said in a statement.

On Friday, I wasn't feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out. I didn't want to go - I didn't think I had to - but Gisele insisted, and as usual, she was right," Fetterman said in a statement posted to Twitter, referring to his wife. I hadn't been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going."
