I\u2019m feeling much better but will follow doctors&#8217; orders and curtail my schedule for the next few days. My full statement is below: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1sYq7FZMqS\">pic.twitter.com\/1sYq7FZMqS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisVanHollen\/status\/1526027910783680513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Terrapin State\u2019s junior senator, who succeeded Barbara Mikulski in 2016, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital, where he remains under observation.<\/p>\n<p>It was not clear where Van Hollen was speaking when he suffered the stroke or whether it occurred on Saturday or Sunday. On Saturday, he tweeted in support of pro-abortion protests in Maryland and also to condemn the actions of a suspected white supremacist sho shot and killed 10 people in a black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n<p>He said in the statement released Sunday that doctors do not expect him to suffer any long-term damage from the stroke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately, I have been informed that there are no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident, but my doctors have advised that out of an abundance of caution I remain under observation for a few days,\u201d Van Hollen said. \u201cI look forward to returning to work in the Senate later this week and thank the medical team for their excellent care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Sunday, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is the front-runner for the Keystone State\u2019s Democratic Party\u2019s Senate nomination, announced he had suffered a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hadn\u2019t been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going,\u201d Fetterman said in a statement. \u201cOn Friday it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nm-senator-lujan-will-return-to-senate-in-time-to-vote-for-biden-scotus-pick\">earlier this year<\/a>, Democrat Sen.
