John Fetterman gets a PACEMAKER fitted on day of his primary

Leading Democratic candidate, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, had a pacemaker installed on Tuesday, the same day as his primary, after suffering a stroke Friday and placing a vote for himself from his hospital bed.

'John Fetterman is about to undergo a standard procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. It should be a short procedure that will help protect his heart and address the underlying cause of his stroke,' Fetterman's campaign said, explaining that it would regulate his heart rate and rhythm.

The progressive populist is running a highly-publicized race against moderate Democratic House Rep. Conor Lamb and state House Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.
