Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman won the Democratic primary for the state’s open Senate seat Tuesday night, according to multiple outlets.
Fetterman, who consistently led in the polls, defeated Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb, who gave up his seat in the House to campaign for the Senate, the Associated Press and NBC News reported.
The lieutenant governor won the primary despite announcing he suffered a stroke on Friday. He was unable to attend election night proceedings, as he is currently in the hospital.
While Fetterman is considered to be a left-wing politician, he has come out against a number of positions hailed by his ideological counterparts. He said members of the left-wing House group known as “The Squad” were “misguided” for their anti-Israel stances.
