WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell suffered a concussion after a fall at a local hotel and remains hospitalized “for a few days of observation and treatment,” a spokesman said Thursday.

The Kentucky senator, 81, was at a Wednesday evening dinner for the Senate Leadership Fund, a campaign committee aligned with him, when he tripped and was admitted to the hospital, his office said. The dinner was at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, formerly the Trump International Hotel, Washington D.C.

Spokesman David Popp said McConnell is being treated for a concussion and “is grateful to the medical professionals for their care and to his colleagues for their warm wishes.”

In 2019, the GOP leader tripped and fell at his home in Kentucky, suffering a shoulder fracture. At the time, he underwent surgery to repair the fracture in his shoulder. The Senate had just started a summer recess, and he worked from home for some weeks as he recovered.

Bevin PO’d a lot of moderates by appearing to sneak around with pension reform

I should add that IMO that wasn't actually Bevin's fault, it was more the KY House and Senate leadership acting as if they'd studied under McConnell diligently, but were less deft in action.

Bevin also PO'd the teacher's unions, which was in the cards anyway, but he did not respond effectively to the major and well funded campaign they waged against him, from what I could see from "next door". Someone really tuned into KY state politics might have more insight.

Perhaps surgeons should operate on his brain to ease the pressure on America.

He needs to accept that he is elderly and has no place in the Senate. I don’t want him to die…I just want him to go home.

“The Dims who said to vote for Fetterman are lining up to say McConnell isn’t fit for office. “

Well they got that one right, Even if not for the right reasons. McConnell is a traitor.

Garland is in a much more dangerous position that he would have been on SCOTUS. Mitch gets no pass from me.

Mitch will get lots of sympathy but be back on his ego trip power path soon.
