Fetterman Dodges Question on Releasing Full Medical Records

Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman did not directly answer a question on whether he would release detailed medical records during his debate against Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday.

Fetterman, running for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, this month released a letter written by his primary care physician, who said he was recovering well after suffering a stroke in May and could “work full duty in public office.” Fetterman’s health in the wake of the stroke has become a key issue in the contentious race.

Fetterman was asked during the debate if he would commit to releasing his medical records. The Democrat responded that his doctors believe that he is ready to serve.

When a moderator again asked him if he would release his health report, he reiterated that “my doctor believes that I’m fit to be serving” and that’s “where I’m standing.”

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
