Due to complications from a stroke he suffered in May, Fetterman required closed-captioning to read questions during an interview with NBC Tuesday.
, Fetterman, who's battling Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz for a key Senate seat in next month's midterm elections, tells reporter Dasha Burns that while the stroke"changes everything," it would not affect his ability to serve as senator.
Burns said in the report that the interview was paired with"closed-captioning technology" that allowed Fetterman to read the questions as they were being asked to him out loud. The captioning, which Fetterman read off of a computer monitor during the interview, was required by the candidate's campaign due to Fetterman's auditory processing challenges that have lingered since his stroke.
"In small talk before the interview without captioning, it wasn't clear he was understanding our conversation," Burns told Holt during the program.
