PA Senate Race Election Day News: Leading Dem. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman Undergoing Surgery for Pacemaker Following Stroke

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov John Fetterman (D) is undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker with defibrillator Tuesday afternoon according to a statement by his Senate campaign. Fetterman, 52, who was leading in polls before today’s election, suffered a stroke last Friday from a blood clot due to atrial fibrillation. His campaign posted a photo of Fetterman filling out an emergency absentee ballot in his hospital room before the operation was announced.

“John Fetterman is about to undergo a standard procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. It should be a short procedure that will help protect his heart and address the underlying cause of his stroke, atrial fibrillation (A-fib), by regulating his heart rate and rhythm.”

Photo of Fetterman filling out a ballot released Tuesday:
