Talk:John Fetterman

message: In lead change "who is the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since 2023." to "serving as the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since 2023." and change "A member of the Democratic Party, he has also served as the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 2019 to 2023." to "A member of the Democratic Party, he also served as the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 2019 to 2023". Changes would be for the sake of grammar and consistency with the leads of other Senators. Planetberaure (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Fetterman's struggles with mental health (checking in to the hospital for clinical depression), physical health (the major stroke he had), and audio processing issues (having to get a closed captioning device installed to his Senate desk) are public and well-documented. I think that given that this is what he's receiving much media attention for, it's worth adding to the introduction. See the following as only one example of this media attention. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/us/politics/john-fetterman-health.html Jgtrevor (talk) 00:32, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's WP:UNDUE for the lead.  is WP:RECENTISM. As a BLP, we should not be including speculation, like the edit that I reverted. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should Fetterman Be Described as a Progressive?  

message: This article makes the allegation that right wing conspiracy theorists made comments that the Senator was replaced with a body double. I am failing to understand how the commentary that people have on someone's health, or presence or absence, has anything to do with the actual state of the Senator's health.
Someone is reverting this, so I'd like to get a topic going as to why the commentary of political groups about strange propositions has to do with the Senator's health.
I propose that the sentence in the "Health Section" which is "After Fetterman's discharge, right-wing conspiracy theorists spread a false theory that Fetterman had been replaced by a body double." be removed. It could be moved to a different section. This is not a factual, dispositive statement about his health. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve.A.Dore.4 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I have added a section on lab-grown meat to the article. It's an interesting position taken by the Senator so worth including I think. (I understand that this edit request wasn't formatted correctly and this isn't a commentary on the decline). Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 14:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
