EXCERPT:

FETTERMAN: “After the election, that’s when things actually accelerated and got worse. And at that point, I wasn’t able to leave bed. And my kids, I really scared my kids, and they thought, 'You won, dad. Why aren’t we enough? Why are you still so sad? Why are you even more sad?' And it was hard to explain why I was. And of course, a 9-year-old child wouldn’t understand that. And it was awful. And that’s when it was continuing to get more and more intense, and I pleaded not to go down to D.C. for kind of the orientation in the middle of November and was — I tried to explain to them, 'I'm probably gonna need some time to get better.'“
