WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman returned to work on Monday after weeks of treatment for depression, bringing a crucial vote back to a Senate narrowly controlled by Democrats.<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania senator, 53, waved to cameras as he entered the Capitol in his customary hoodie and shorts.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to be back,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n

Fetterman checked into a Washington-area hospital to be treated for clinical depression in mid-February and was discharged in late March with his depression in remission, his office said.<\/p>\n

Known for his progressive politics \u2014 as well as his shaved head and tattooed frame \u2014 Fetterman flipped a Republican-held seat in November’s midterm elections, six months after suffering a near-fatal stroke. His win expanded Democrats’ majority by one seat to 51-49.<\/p>\n

Fetterman’s office said he will chair a hearing on Wednesday on the federal government’s food stamp program, SNAP.<\/p>\n

Fetterman is one of three senators who have recently been out for medical reasons.<\/p>\n

The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell, 81, who was treated for a concussion after a fall, also returned to work on Monday.<\/p>\n

Senator Dianne Feinstein, 89, has been sidelined since early March after suffering from shingles. She will return as soon as her doctors advise it is safe for her to travel<\/a>, she said on Wednesday. She has not voted since mid-February.<\/p>\n

Feinstein said she would temporarily step down from her spot on the Judiciary Committee while she recovers, though it is not clear Democrats will be able to app<\/a>oint a temporary replacement over Republican objections.<\/p>\n
