'In the end, it's got to be between that senator and their constituents, and there's no formula...I think it's better to err on the side of transparency and to provide as much information as possible,' said Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr.
Almost every time a president's health update arrives, it comes from a medical expert. Such was the case earlier this month when President Biden's longtime physician revealed a minor form of skin cancer had been removed from his chest.
This issue drew intense political attention last year during the Pennsylvania Senate campaign, after John Fetterman , then a candidate, suffered a stroke and took more than two months off the campaign trail amid Republican accusations he was not healthy enough for the job. That issue came up again last month when now-Sen. Fetterman faced a serious enough bout with depression, common after a stroke, that he checked into inpatient care.
To Casey, who recently endured his own surgery to battle prostate cancer, that's perfectly fine. That's exactly how he has approached dealing with Fetterman since the junior senator entered Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Feb. 16. Fetterman's advisers have posted pictures of him at Walter Reed with staff and suggested it will be a "weeks-long" process. McConnell's advisers say privately that he is getting briefed by staff and talking with them, suggesting it could be a couple weeks of inpatient rehab before he returns home.
None other than Sen. Joe Biden, in 1988, missed seven months of time in the chamber as he recovered from a brain aneurysm, greeted with bipartisan acclaim when he returned. "I'm just fine. And I can't believe y'all have played with that all week long," he said, complaining about media coverage in an interview at the time.
