Sen. McConnell reportedly fine after falling during GOP lunch
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. experienced a fall during a GOP lunch on Tuesday, as reported by Fox News. Witnesses saw a wheelchair being wheeled into McConnell’s office just before 1 p.m., followed by a Washington, D.C. fire and rescue team emerging from the senator’s office.
The incident occurred on the same day that McConnell criticized federal judges for reversing retirement decisions, labeling it as ‘open partisanship’. Despite the fall, McConnell was not present at the Senate GOP weekly press conference. Senator John Thune assured reporters that McConnell was fine, stating, “He’s in his office. Any other questions about Sen. McConnell, I’ll refer to staff.”
