Fetterman is reportedly scheduled to return to the Senate in mid-April

Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania will return to the US Senate next month for the week of April 17, according to various media reports citing unnamed sources. Politically quoted two people with direct knowledge of the plan.

In mid-February, the lawmaker, who had only taken office in January, checked into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be treated for clinical depression. A statement released at the time by Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, said the senator had “bouted bouts of depression throughout his life” but “it’s only gotten bad in the past few weeks.”

According to the Associated Press, Fetterman’s communications director Joe Calvello hinted last week that lawmakers “would be back soon, at least over a week, but soon.” Calvello also said the senator is getting daily personal briefings from Jentleson, according to the outlet.

Fetterman, who suffered a stroke shortly before winning the Democratic primary last year, won the Keystone State’s 2022 US Senate race against GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz, who had been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Fetterman had a pacemaker with a defibrillator implanted after the stroke, and he has suffered from auditory processing problems since the stroke.

Fetterman had been there last month before he went to see Walter Reed out of stock to George Washington University Hospital for drowsiness, but he was Approved later that same week. “In addition to the CT, CTA and MRI tests, which ruled out a stroke, his EEG test results returned to normal with no evidence of seizures,” Calvello said in a statement released at the time.
