<p>Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen suffered a stroke while delivering a speech over the weekend and is now being treated in a hospital.</p>
<p>The first-term senator, who is up for re-election in November, said he began feeling light-headed while speaking in western Maryland. He saw a doctor shortly afterward and learned he had suffered a stroke.</p>
<p>“Earlier today, an angiogram indicated that I had experienced a minor stroke in the form of a small venous tear at the back of my head,” Van Hollen <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1526027910783680513" data-vars-href="https://twitter.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1526027910783680513">said in a statement</a> Sunday.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">This weekend, after feeling lightheaded while delivering a speech, I sought medical attention at the recommendation of the Attending Physician. I’m feeling much better but will follow doctors&#39; orders and curtail my schedule for the next few days. My full statement is below: <a href="https://t.co/1sYq7FZMqS">pic.twitter.com/1sYq7FZMqS</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1526027910783680513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 16, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Terrapin State&#8217;s junior senator, who succeeded Barbara Mikulski in 2016, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital, where he remains under observation.</p>
<p>It was not clear where Van Hollen was speaking when he suffered the stroke or whether it occurred on Saturday or Sunday. On Saturday, he tweeted in support of pro-abortion protests in Maryland and also to condemn the actions of a suspected white supremacist sho shot and killed 10 people in a black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York.</p>
<p>He said in the statement released Sunday that doctors do not expect him to suffer any long-term damage from the stroke.</p>
<p>“Fortunately, I have been informed that there are no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident, but my doctors have advised that out of an abundance of caution I remain under observation for a few days,” Van Hollen said. “I look forward to returning to work in the Senate later this week and thank the medical team for their excellent care.”</p>
<p>Earlier Sunday, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is the front-runner for the Keystone State&#8217;s Democratic Party&#8217;s Senate nomination, announced he had suffered a stroke.</p>
<p>“I hadn’t been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going,” Fetterman said in a statement. “On Friday it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long.&#8221;</p>
