U.S. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was discharged on March 31 from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, where he was being treated for depression. Fetterman checked himself in for treatment on Feb. 15.

A week before that, he had been in George Washington University Hospital in Washington, with symptoms of lightheadedness, which was a concern because the Democratic senator had a stroke on the campaign trail the weekend before the May 2022 primary.
