McConnell Falls Down Senate Stairs After Casting Vote

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell fell down the stairs at the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday, prompting new concerns about his health.

Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram broke the news on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Fox confirms. McConnell falls down Senate stairs after voting to confirm Scott Turner as HUD Secretary. Unclear about injuries. But Fox is told he appears to be ok. McConnell was helped up by Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK),” Pergram tweeted.

 

Several on social media last month called on McConnell to step down after being photographed on looking weak after he hurt himself the day before by falling and hurting himself.

The 82-year-old leader of the Senate Republicans has had several health problems over the years, including several falls, one of which led to a concussion.

When the Republican fell, it shocked everyone in the Capitol. The press rushed to his office to see the leader and make sure he was okay. An image of McConnell went viral online after his fall, as someone can be seen pushing the top Republican in a wheelchair.

McConnell’s spokesperson provided an update after the Kentucky Republican fell late last year.

“Leader McConnell tripped following lunch. He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule,” a McConnell spokesman said.

Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), who will succeed McConnell as Senate GOP leader in January, told reporters following the weekly Senate GOP policy luncheon that McConnell is “fine” and “in his office.” He referred any questions about McConnell to the senator’s staff.

Medical staff with a wheelchair were reportedly called to assist the senator after his fall. Republican Sen. John Barrasso, the incoming whip, told the Daily Mail that McConnell “is fine.”
