Senator Fetterman's Speech Struggles Raise Concerns During Infrastructure Hearing.
Senator John Fetterman struggled to speak coherently about an elevated highway collapse in Philadelphia during a US Senate Environment Committee hearing. His speech difficulties were widely criticized on social media, with some questioning his fitness for office. Fetterman's abilities have been questioned since he suffered a stroke during his campaign for US Senate last year and offered limited media appearances. His audio and visual deficiencies stemming from the stroke have been so profound that he uses closed-captioned questions for interviews, including during his senatorial debate.
