The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
In his first media interview since suffering a stroke days before the May primary election, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democrats’ torchbearer for one of the country’s most important U.S. Senate races, told the Post-Gazette on Wednesday that he’s “feeling really good,” said he has “nothing to hide” on the status of his health and described the lingering effects of his stroke as minor and infrequent.
Mr. Fetterman, 52, said he has “no physical limits,” walks 4 to 5 miles every day in 90-degree heat, understands words properly and hasn’t lost any of his memory. He struggles with hearing sometimes, he said, and may “miss a word” or “slur two together,” but he said it doesn’t happen often and that he’s working with a speech therapist. Mr. Fetterman said he will be back to making physical appearances on the campaign trail “very soon.”

In the interview, Fetterman used closed captioning on the call to make sure he didn’t miss any words, his campaign spokesman said afterward — disclosed at Fetterman’s urging for the “sake of being totally transparent,” he said.
