Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) was hospitalized Thursday morning after suffering injuries from a fall, according to his spokesperson.

The incident was confirmed in a<a href="https://x.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1989026864862507493?s=20"> statement</a> shared on Fetterman's X account.

“During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock," the statement reads. "Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries."

The spokesperson also shared a personal statement from the senator himself, joking about his appearance after the early morning fall.

"Senator Fetterman had this to say: 'If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!'"

The statement said the Pennsylvania Democrat is doing well and continues to be observed by medical staff.  Fetterman has chosen to stay at the hospital "so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen," the spokesperson said, adding that he's grateful to the EMTs, doctors, and nurses looking over him.

Fetterman has experienced some medical issues in recent years, most notably a stroke during his Senate campaign in 2022. He was also hospitalized in 2023 after feeling lightheaded during a Senate Democratic retreat.

Fetterman was notably among eight Democratic senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown.

The Democrat spoke out against his colleagues in the Senate for allowing the longest shutdown in history, citing the impact on federal workers, the military, and more than 42 million Americans who depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

“After 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted YES for the 15th time to REOPEN,” Fetterman wrote in an X post on Nov. 9. “I’m sorry to our military, SNAP recipients, gov workers, and Capitol Police who haven’t been paid in weeks. It should’ve never come to this. This was a failure.”

Fetterman recently defended his voting record, reiterating that he always puts country over party and isn’t afraid of distancing himself from his colleagues or breaking ranks with Democratic leadership.

"I vote in a 91 percent Democratic line, and if Democrats have a problem with somebody that votes 91 percent of the same times as you are, more than nine out of 10 times, then maybe our party has a bigger problem," <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-fetterman-senate-voting-record-democrats-trump/">Fetterman told CBS</a>.
