US Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont was hospitalized Thursday after he felt unwell at his McLean, Virginia, home, his office said.
As a precaution, the 82-year-old Democrat was taken to a Washington-area hospital for tests. At the recommendation of his doctors, he was expected to remain in the hospital overnight for observation.
Leahy, the longest-serving sitting senator, is not seeking re-election in November.
By the time his term expires in January 2023, Leahy will have served for 48 years in the Senate.
In June, he fell and broke his hip. At the time, his staff said he was expected to make a full recovery. In July, he underwent a second surgery on his hip.
Leahy has been making a number of public appearances

The’ll have to spray wash this scumbag out of office once he decomposes..
...gee that’s a shame.
They would not have kept him if there wasn’t something to worry about.
America! The Land of the Freeloaders. Not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. The old bass turd never worked a day in his life.
The will to live under any circumstances is powerful. You find that out when you face life threatening situations.
Fact is everyones body ‘wears’ down over time. Some organ or body part will reveal this as you age. Even at 50 you’re already wearing down.
I’m grateful for Hosptials...broke my back and they “fixed” it. Accidents happen too throughout life. So if whatever can be fixed I’m good to go! If it can’t be fixed I adjust.
Two hip surgeries on the same hip? He’s done.
Hospitals won't admit you unless there's a medical concern. They aren't rest homes.
He’s been in Congress longer than I have been alive.
Amen!
Defense department leaks suddenly dry up.
There are still signs mostly on dairy barns in VT that say:
Take Back Vermont
Vermont, once was a Republican conservative Yankee state. Until all the hippies from NY moved there starting in the 1960s and 70s.
It is still a very rural state. 95% white people. It is also very safe. The economy is tourist and dairy based. Hence the reason Ben & Jerrys was started there by a couple of ex-NYC hippies. I believe there are still more cows than people. If not, it is very close.
If you go and stay in a B&B in VT the owner almost always has the same history. They used to work in finance or Wall street in NYC. Now the make pancakes with Maple syrup for tourists. They are all NYC liberals that moved to the country.
Perhaps life is leaking from Leaky Leahy.
My modest proposal is an age limit of 78 for all Senators, regardless of health or condition.
That’s right. So somethings up regardless of how it’s reported. No doubt Leahy will cover his butt unless whatever is wrong takes him out.
The senatorial race there shows the D with a RCP 7 point lead, but this is the year of the Biden red wave.
Everyone wants to live a long time, but no one wants to get older.

His wife or son will step in and sacrifice to fill his seat no doubt.
They asked him to describe his symptoms, but he couldn’t stop lying.
