Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell down the stairs outside the Senate chamber Wednesday, where reporters watched the octogenarian regain his footing.

McConnell got up with the help of Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and tried to walk it off.

McConnell also fell in December, continuing a pattern that raised alarms in 2023, leaving him with a hurt wrist, bruised hand, and bandages on his finger and face.

McConnell was treated for a concussion last year. That injury occurred upon falling at a hotel in Washington, DC. It was one of his many health issues in 2023, CNN reported. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building” HERE)
