It sounds like it was a “minor” stroke… as far as strokes go.

“With Lujan absent, Democrats will have to wait to confirm several executive and judicial branch nominees”

Well doesn’t that just s*ck. Biden’s woes get worse. Cry me a tear.

I suspect the first question all of us have is: What is his vaccination history?

Very odd that the several deaths in today’s news do not mention cause, when everyone is interested in cause.

One here in North Carolina that did not end in death, but would have had the coach not been a very quick thinker, was a 17 year old boy in basketball practice.

Afterwards the coach said he had never seen an incident so serious in his 20 years of coaching.

No report as to cause, only that he had a cardiac arrest.

Similar to no picture...don’t need one?

"Until Senator Lujan can return to Washington, the Democrats do not have a working majority in the Senate"

Then the party of Communism will force him out and have the Commie NM Governor appoint a new and improved Commie Senator.

Here is the fugly witch:

It is very important to know if it was an Ischemic (often a blood clot) stroke, or a Hemorrhagic (a pipe burst) stroke, and *where* it was in the brain (cerebellum). Also how quickly it was detected and how soon treatment began.

This is correct— there cannot be a “vote” by a Senator’s staff, and not by the Senator in absentia.

Untimely for the Dems. This could has some significant ramifications.

As with all liberals, I hope he gets the outcome he deserves. And I’ll leave it at that.

Let’s hope he stays in a coma until at least next January. I assume that his seat would remain his while in a coma so he couldn’t be replaced.

Then you have Senator Dianne Feinstein who evidently seems to be having some dementia. It definitely is a problem when you overstay your age in the Senate. You could end up as a vegetable or dead

This guy was only 49 years of age. Which is way too young for a stroke. But look at Dianne Feinstein at age 88, and Grassley from Iowa at age 88. Both are too old to be in the senate
