Senator John Fetterman ready to make up for ‘lost time’ after leaving hospital

Recently discharged from hospital for depression, lawmaker says he wants to be ‘the kind of senator that Pennsylvania deserves’

Having just been discharged from a hospital which treated him for mental depression for six weeks, the US senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman has said he is committed “to start making up [for] any lost time”.

“My aspiration is to take my son to the restaurant that we were supposed to go [to] during his birthday but couldn’t because I had checked myself in for depression,” the first-term Democratic senator said in an interview with CBS News that was aired Sunday. “And being the kind of dad, the kind of husband and the kind of senator that Pennsylvania deserves.”
