McConnell suffers fall after Senate vote
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell as he exited the Senate chamber on Wednesday, though he did not immediately appear injured and walked away under his own power.
McConnell, who stepped down as Senate GOP leader in January, was assisted to his feet by Sens. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Steve Daines (R-MT) and then walked to a Senate lunch. He had just cast a vote for Scott Turner to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development when he tripped.
The episode is the latest brush with injury for McConnell, who sustained a cut on his face and sprained his wrist in December 2024 at another Senate lunch.
In 2023, McConnell, 82, was hospitalized for a concussion and later had multiple freezing episodes in front of cameras, apparently as a lingering symptom of the concussion.
A spokesman for McConnell did not respond to a request for comment.
