Fetterman on reported mental health concerns: ‘Hit piece’

  • Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania called a recent New York Magazine report about his mental health a 'hit piece' on May 6, 2025.
  • The report arose amid concerns from some former staffers who alleged erratic behavior and questioned Fetterman's fitness, though Fetterman rejected these claims as based on anonymous disgruntled sources.
  • Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May 2022 during his Senate campaign, stated he follows a strict medical protocol and has been open about his depression and recovery.
  • Supporters including former Senator Kyrsten Sinema condemned the report as a 'despicable hit piece' and 'vendetta' against his medical journey, while journalist Salena Zito suggested internal staff conflicts fueled the controversy.
  • Fetterman affirmed he will complete his term ending in January 2029 but has not committed to a 2028 re-election campaign amid ongoing political and staff tensions.
