It is unclear if he sustained any injuries at this time.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell fell during the Senate Republican lunch on Tuesday.It is unclear if McConnell, 82, sustained any injuries or what the severity of the fall was. Two medical responders were seen briefly entering his office and have since departed.
"He's fine, he's in his office," Thune said, deferring further questions to McConnell's staff. McConnell's office has not yet released a statement. One fall in March 2023 at a hotel in Washington resulted in a prolonged absence from the Senate. McConnell suffered a concussion and fractured rib from the incident, requiring hospitalization and outpatient rehabilitation that forced him to miss six weeks on Capitol Hill.
