Federally, legislation was introduced in both the House and Senate by Pennsylvania lawmakers aimed at expanding safety regulations for the rail industry after a fiery train wreck near Beaver County.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle commended the Pennsylvania Democratic, saying Fetterman’s openness about his struggles could help destigmatize mental health issues.
His office released a statement acknowledging that Fetterman has experienced depression intermittently throughout his life, and that the condition had become severe in recent weeks.
