Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was hospitalized after a heart rhythm disorder known as ventricular fibrillation led to his falling.
"During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock," a spokesperson for the lawmaker announced on Thursday. "Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh."
"Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries," the statement added.
Fetterman was said to be "doing well" on Thursday afternoon.
"If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!" the senator reportedly commented.
During a recent interview on CNN, Fetterman claimed liberals were "cheering" for him to have a stroke.
