Freshman Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who won one of the most closely contested Senate races in November 2022, has been installed with closed-caption technology to aid him while he recovers from a life-threatening stroke. The technology, which will allow Fetterman to read typed closed-captions as individuals speak, was installed in coordination with the Office of Congressional Accessibility Services and will be used by him during speeches on the Senate floor. The wired screens in the Senate chamber will be able to operate with or without Wi-Fi, and will be manually typed out by professional broadcast captioners. The Senator defeated Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz by 5% in the 2022 Senate election in Pennsylvania.
