Overview

• Senator John Fetterman has rejected a New York Magazine article alleging concerns about his mental health and behavior, labeling it a 'one-source hit piece' driven by disgruntled staffers.
• The report, citing both named and anonymous former staffers, claims Fetterman has deviated from his recovery plan and exhibited erratic behavior since his 2022 stroke and 2023 depression treatment.
• Fetterman insists he is following his treatment regimen, with his doctors affirming his health, and has dismissed accusations of not taking prescribed medications.
• Former chief of staff Adam Jentleson, who expressed concerns in a 2024 email to Fetterman’s doctor, stands by his statements, while Fetterman accuses him of holding a 'weird grudge.'
• Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have publicly supported Fetterman, with Schumer calling him an 'all-star' and a 'good legislator.'
