WATCH: Fetterman Struggles To Piece Sentence Together When Asked About I-95 Bridge Collapse: ‘I Uh, You Know, The 95, 95, 95’

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) again struggled to speak and slurred his words during a Senate hearing on Thursday. The freshman senator has repeatedly struggled with speech as he continues to recover from a stroke he suffered in 2022.

The Senate Environment And Public Works Committee was discussing the recent collapse of the northbound lane of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia. The collapse — which was the result of a tanker fire — has shut down a major traffic artery that has led to major congestion in one of the nation’s biggest cities.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has stated that repairs could take “months.”

On Monday, committee chair Tom Carper (D-DE) thanked Fetterman for coming to the meeting and informed him that the committee had recently heard testimony on the I-95 collapse. “We had uh, earlier today some comments about the tragic accident on I-95 and if you wanted to make any comments with respect to that, feel free, you’re recognized,” Carper said.

Fetterman then stuttered for a few seconds before saying, “I would really like to, you know, the 95, 95, 95 you know?”

On February 8, Fetterman was hospitalized overnight after feeling light-headed. His office reported that he was in “good spirits” and was conversing with the staff, stating that his hospitalization had nothing to do with his stroke recovery.

Then, on February 16, Fetterman checked himself in to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in order to treat symptoms of clinical depression in February. He would remain hospitalized until March 31.

According to a report from the New York Times, Fetterman’s most evident disability is a neurological condition that impairs his hearing. Fetterman has suffered from auditory processing issues since suffering his stroke, which forces him to rely on a tablet in order to transcribe what is being said to him.

When Fetterman’s condition is at its worst, he has described hearing voices as if they were the muffled voice of the teacher in “Peanuts” cartoons, per the New York Times report.
