BREAKING: Mitch McConnell Falls Down Senate Stairs: ‘Unclear About Injuries’
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) experienced a fall on the Senate stairs earlier today after casting his vote to confirm Scott Turner as the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
The incident occurred shortly after the confirmation vote concluded. According to reports, Senators Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) were present at the scene and promptly assisted McConnell in regaining his footing.
Initial accounts suggest that McConnell appears to be in stable condition, though specific details regarding any potential injuries have not been disclosed.
The 83-year-old senator has had previous health concerns, including a fall in March 2023 that resulted in a concussion and a fractured rib. He underwent physical therapy following that incident and returned to his Senate duties after a period of recovery.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Senator McConnell’s office regarding today’s fall. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
This is a developing story.
