Just days before the primary elections, Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman—the leading Democrat in the state’s Senate contest—suffered a stroke but was on his way to a “full recovery.”

On Sunday, the 52-year-old front runner for Tuesday’s primary was at the Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital all weekend.
