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.

Nailed it.
I have a friend who is 82, and still practices as an attorney. His wife complains that he will never retire.
It is purposeful to keep the republicans in the minority.
God Bless Mitch I wish him a speedy recovery and a speedy exit from the US Senate.
The crooks need to go.
Must be a soft shell on Mitch.

China must be more worried about his health than anyone. They don’t want to lose a strong supporter.
Hope him and Fetterman are in the same room with 1 remote.
His saving grace is keeping the prick Garland off the supreme court, getting three Trump choices on it, and a host of lower court appointments. For that I’ll give him a pass.
What is the procedure in KY if he seat became vacant? Would the Governor appoint someone?
I do not wish him well .
It would be goid for the country if he would completely retire from public life.
Don’t speak ill of the dead. Er, wait. Too soon?
Tucker exposing him as a liar must have really rattled him. Of course, we all knew he was/is a liar who hates the base of his own party.
At least he didn’t lose an eyeball like Harry.
More CHINS than the Chinese phonebook
Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, formerly the Trump International Hotel, Washington D.C.
Pretty funny that this happened at the Waldorf Astoria - FORMERLY the TRUMP hotel! Must have been Trump gremlins at work :)
Probably had a ‘disagreement’ with his CCP handlers and they tripped him.
It was Clint that taught us....Don’t let the old man in
We will persist and persevere
Think 90....... at a minimum
We cam only hope it knocked a smidgen of sense into him.
I hear they ran an EEG scan on Cocaine Mitch and the results showed nothing.
