Fetterman released from hospital after fall outside his Pennsylvania home

Published November 15, 2025 8:00pm ET



Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has returned home after being hospitalized for a fall he suffered late this week due to a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up.”

Fetterman was taken to the hospital out of “an abundance of caution” on Thursday after falling outside his house in Braddock, Pennsylvania. At the time, his office said he was “doing well,” and Fetterman joked about his injuries, saying, “If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now.”
