Concerns Mount Over Senator John Fetterman's Health and Fitness for Office
- Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has faced increasing scrutiny in 2024 after reports emerged about his mental health and erratic behavior following a 2022 stroke and 2023 hospitalization.
- These concerns arose from accounts by former staffers and ex-chief of staff Adam Jentleson, who warned of worsening mental health, conspiratorial thinking, and reckless driving, while Fetterman and his wife mostly deny these claims.
- Incidents highlighted include a June 2024 car crash where Fetterman drove 70 mph in a 30 mph zone, aimless wandering on Capitol Hill, and a viral argument with a flight crew over seatbelt use, drawing public attention.
- Jentleson warned last year that Fetterman 'won't be with us for much longer' due to his health decline, also noting that Fetterman 'does not see his doctors' and engages in risky behaviors like FaceTiming while driving.
- The situation has raised questions about Fetterman's ability to serve, with supporters calling the allegations smears and critics concerned about his fitness for office and political future.
