Fetterman "remains on a path to recovery" amid depression treatment, office says

Washington — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is "doing well" and "remains on a path to recovery" as he continues to receive treatment for clinical depression, his office said Monday.

The update from Joe Calvello, Fetterman's communications director, is the first the Democratic senator's office has provided since it announced on Feb. 16 that Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. 

"We don't have a lot to update folks with since there's no real news to report except that John is doing well, working with the wonderful doctors, and remains on a path to recovery," Calvello said. "He is visiting with staff and family daily, and his staff are keeping him updated on Senate business and news."
