Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized Wednesday after feeling lightheaded, his staff said.

"Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke," said Joe Calvello, the communications director for the Pennsylvania Democrat.

The senator, who had a stroke in May that compromised his speech processing capabilities for months, began to feel lightheaded after a lawmakers' retreat and was taken by members of his staff to George Washington University Hospital, according to the Calvello.

Fetterman, 53, will remain there overnight as doctors run additional tests.

"He is in good spirits and talking with his staff and family," Calvello said.
