Democrats have welcomed Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. John Fetterman back to work with a round of applause. The senators gave the lawmaker from Pennsylvania a standing ovation after his hospitalization in mid-February for clinical depression. U.S. Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland says the lawmakers made their feelings known when the freshman Senator came into the room Monday. Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey called Fetterman “an extraordinary leader” for his willingness to publicly discuss his depression and need for treatment.
