US Senator John Fetterman discharged from hospital

US Senator John Fetterman was discharged from hospital on Friday two days after the stroke survivor was admitted feeling lightheaded.

Following tests, doctors said that the Pennsylvania lawmaker was not suffering from a new seizure.

His spokesman, Joe Calvello, said Mr Fetterman "is looking forward to spending some time with his family and returning to the Senate on Monday".

Sworn in last month, his win handed Democrats narrow control of the Senate.

Doctors at George Washington Hospital in Washington DC conducted various scans to confirm he did not have a new stroke.
