Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been discharged from the hospital after being treated for a concussion and rib fracture
The Kentucky Republican tripped at a dinner event on Wednesday evening, his communications director said last week. McConnell had been admitted to a hospital and was being treated for a concussion, according to the statement at the time. He was expected, it said, to stay at the hospital “for a few days of observation and treatment.” He also suffered a rib fracture, according to a statement from his communications director on Monday.
He has served in the role of both Senate majority and minority leader and has worked to advance highly consequential Republican priorities over the years, including the confirmation of conservative judges to the federal bench. CNN reported on Friday that McConnell was acting normally and eager to be discharged from the hospital. A person familiar with the matter told CNN that he had no visible wounds from the fall.
