North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein was hospitalized after experiencing symptoms of a stroke while walking his dog with his wife.

The Daily Caller reports:

Doctors at the hospital confirmed he had a “minor stroke” due to a small blood clot and successfully performed a procedure to remove it, according to his Twitter announcement.

“I’m feeling back to normal now and am beyond blessed to have no lingering effects. My doctor wants me to stay here for another day or two to get some rest before I get back to work. Anna is my hero for recognizing that something was wrong and insisting that I go to the hospital,” Stein tweeted.

Stein is currently serving his second term as the state’s attorney general and is reportedly expected to run for governor in the future, reported the Charlotte Observer.

The attorney general said he had a lot to be thankful for, including the care he received from the EMTs and the hospital’s medical staff. He also thanked his family.

Stein’s hospitalization marks the third Democrat to suffer from a stroke in May.
