Fox News
The Senate installed closed-caption technology for freshman Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to aid him in his recovery from a life-threatening stroke, according to a report.
The technology will also assist Fetterman as he delivers speeches on the floor, which has strict rules prohibiting members from using certain technologies, including the use of cellphones. There will be a similar desk stand with the closed-caption tech he can place on the Senate dais when he presides over the body, as well. Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The wired screens in the Senate chamber will be able to operate with or without Wi-Fi as closed-captions are manually typed out for him by professional broadcast captioners. He will also able to utilize the technology as he sits and stands.
