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.

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

Most of us FReepers say neither is fit for office, but for other reasons.

I don’t think anyone in the Fed gov is fit for office, but that’s just me.

Does McConnell’s absence “even” things back up in the Senate? Or does it once again insure that the Dems have the majority who can attend to cast votes? Feinstein and Fetterman are both out on the Democrat side. Who is out of service for the Republicans? Isn’t there one other out for the GOP?

Is someone keeping score?

Mitch probably tripped while he was distracted and thinking about Tucker’s videos.

Fetterman and McConnell can have a gang of 2 in Walter Reed.

Don’t bother. There are more than enough RINOs to support whatever Schumer wants them to do.
