A big difference here is that Johnson had the stroke two years before the election. He was an incumbent, had some time to demonstrate that he could keep doing the job. But hard to imagine Johnson getting the same treatment in the take-no-prisoners politics of 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Coverage of this race/question is very different than what unfolded in 2008, when Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) easily won re-election after a brain hemorrhage that affected his speech and mobility. https://t.co/h81xMEBG5g https://t.co/RLqwI7aaPn — PolitiTweet.org

In between then and now you had the 2016 Illinois U.S. Senate race, where Mark Kirk had long-term damage from a stroke but Democrats didn't bring it up. (The exception was a loopy answer he gave in one debate; there was speculation it was stroke-related.) https://t.co/hdYjltfv2m — PolitiTweet.org
