The first-term Senator reported feeling “light-headed” when speaking at an event in western Maryland. After seeking medical attention, doctors confirmed he had “suffered a stroke,” according to the Daily Wire.

Van Hollen tweeted an update on Sunday:

“Earlier today, an angiogram indicated that I had experienced a minor stroke in the form of a small venous tear at the back of my head.”

This weekend, after feeling lightheaded while delivering a speech, I sought medical attention at the recommendation of the Attending Physician. I’m feeling much better but will follow doctors' orders and curtail my schedule for the next few days. My full statement is below: pic.twitter.com/1sYq7FZMqS

 On Monday, Senator Van Hollen’s office released the following update:

Van Hollen succeeded Barbara Mikulski in 2016. The first-time Senator will be on the ballot in the November midterms.

The Daily Wire reports, “it is not clear where Van Hollen was speaking when he suffered the stroke” or whether it occurred on Saturday or Sunday. However, Van Hollen posted several Twitter messages on Saturday, first noting his support of pro-abortion protests in his State.

I stand with each and every person marching across Maryland & our country today in support of reproductive rights and freedom of choice. We cannot – and will not – let up in the battle to protect and codify #RoevWade. We face a real and present danger, and we must fight back.

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) May 14, 2022

On Saturday, the Senator also condemned the shooting in Buffalo, New York:

Horrified and sickened by this act of pure evil. We must directly confront racism wherever it raises its vile head — and bring the heinous perpetrators of hate crimes to justice. https://t.co/2A2xGJf479

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) May 15, 2022

Van Hollen seems positive about his prospects for recovery, reporting, “I look forward to returning to work in the Senate later this week and thank the medical team for their excellent care.”

Noteworthy is that also on Sunday, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s Senate nomination, reported he had suffered a stroke.

In February, Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.Mex., 49, suffered a stroke but recovered and resumed his responsibilities in the Senate.
