In a statement, Fetterman's office says tests show no evidence of a new stroke, but he is staying at George Washington University Hospital for more tests and observation.

He is said to be "in good spirits and talking with his staff and family."

Fetterman suffered a stroke during his campaign last year and refused to release his medical records.

The full message from his office reads:

“Towards the end of the Senate Democratic retreat today, Senator John Fetterman began feeling lightheaded. He left and called his staff, who picked him up and drove him to The George Washington University Hospital. Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke, but doctors are running more tests and John is remaining overnight for observation. He is in good spirits and talking with his staff and family. We will provide more information when we have it.”
