John Fetterman entered the hospital as just Pennsylvania’s Lieutenant Governor, and was discharged as a U.S. Senate nominee with a pacemaker
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, was released from Lancaster General Hospital on Sunday — but with doctor’s orders to rest up before returning to the campaign trail, he said in a statement. … Fetterman said he is “feeling great” but would rest at home in Braddock, Allegheny County, until he’s cleared to return to work.
“I am going to take the time I need now to rest and get to 100% so I can go full speed soon and flip this seat blue,” he said.

New front opens in already tense Pennsylvania primary election aftermath
Pennsylvania mail ballots submitted without a date on the envelope last year should be counted, a federal appeals court said Friday, a ruling that could mean thousands more votes get counted in elections moving forward — starting with this past Tuesday’s primary.
The ruling will also almost certainly reignite the smoldering political fight over undated mail ballots; create new questions and pressure for county elections officials as they continue to count votes from this week’s primary; and create another potential opening for county-by-county legal challenges as the Senate Republican primary heads toward a likely recount. The full extent of the decision’s impact is unclear, because the court issued a judgment and said an opinion would come later.
