WASHINGTON—U.S. Democratic Senator John Fetterman said on Saturday that he is now home after a Thursday fall that resulted in 20 stitches in his face.

Fetterman was hospitalized on Thursday after falling during an early morning walk. A ventricular fibrillation flare-up led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed and falling, a Fetterman spokesperson had said.
