Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman is recovering from a stroke he suffered in late May, but still "sometimes struggles to speak smoothly," the Associated Press reported Friday.
The AP reported that Fetterman's campaign "acknowledges" the speaking issues and that he hasn't fully recovered from the stroke.
Responding to Insider's request for comment, Joe Calvello, Fetterman's communications director, did not dispute the AP's report and pointed to a Washington Post story featuring video of a Tuesday Zoom call in which Fetterman addressed campaign volunteers. The campaign would not say when Fetterman will resume in-person events or be made available for media interviews.
Fetterman's wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, told CNN in early June that her husband "deserves a month break to come back as strong as ever" and would "maybe" return to the campaign trail by July.
