The progressive Democrat has been off the trail since he was admitted to the hospital on May 13. Fetterman said days after the stroke that he was on the way to a &#8220;full recovery&#8221; and that he would be back to campaigning &#8220;sometime soon.&#8221; But medical experts who reviewed Fetterman\u2019s symptoms and treatment\u2014which included the installation of a pacemaker and defibrillator\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/sudden-cardiac-death-doctors-raise-concerns-about-fettermans-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> the stroke nearly killed him. One doctor said Fetterman was at risk of &#8220;sudden cardiac death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Party officials are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/fettermans-health-return-campaign-trail-mystery-democrats-grow-nervous-rcna31645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly<\/a> &#8220;very nervous&#8221; that Fetterman\u2019s health status will prove a liability in November, when he will face Republican nominee Mehmet Oz. Some Pennsylvania Democrats have gone as far as exploring options to remove Fetterman from the ballot should he be unable to resume campaigning.<\/p>\n<p>But Fetterman\u2019s camp now says he will be back on the trail in the coming weeks, according to the <em>Post<\/em>. In lieu of traditional campaigning, Fetterman has appeared for virtual fundraisers and speeches. Fetterman <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/news\/administration\/3522803-biden-fetterman-zoom-about-senate-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">held a Zoom call<\/a> last month with President Joe Biden, whose health problems have stoked similar concerns in the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman has attacked Oz online, deploying a series of snarky memes against the celebrity heart doctor. His campaign has also paid for banners to fly along the Jersey Shore, accusing Oz of being a resident of New Jersey instead of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The seaside destination is familiar territory for Fetterman, who vacationed there with his family earlier this month.
