McConnell Falls Again, Gets Medical Attention

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) received medical attention on Capitol Hill after he suffered another fall on Tuesday.

POLITICO reported that McConnell, 82, walked out of a Senate GOP lunch with a cut on his face and medical personnel followed the lawmaker into his office.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who has been elected to serve as the next Republican leader in the upper chamber, assured reporters afterwards that McConnell was alright.

“He is fine. He’s in his office. And any other questions about Sen. McConnell, I’ll refer to staff,” Thune said at a press conference.
