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.

Help!
I’ve fallen and I can’t shut up.
Yes.
Or, at the least,hospice care.
My bad!
I submit that He tripped over Biden walking up the stairs
Senate needs to hold hearings on how a turtle could fall...
I wouldn’t worry too much. As long as McConnell is still breathing, he will hold onto that seat until either Trump is gone for good or it looks like he’s going to lose his next primary in 2026. I’m convinced that this vendetta is the only thing standing between him and retirement.
I wish him well in his nursing home....
Yes, I know working at his age is what keeps him as “lively” as he is. He doesn’t need the money. He works at his convenience, and on his terms. His own practice with one other guy. Very prominent in our little community. Right across from the courthouse, too, so very convenient.
You are far kinder than I am. I’ve been wanting him out for 20+ years.
Ok, I confess, you made me chuckle.
All that Chinese money didn’t break his fall one bit.
Probably fell over his loose, lying lips.

Now that’s funny.
Thanks. I should’ve put a hat tip to TP & the HB on that.
I wish I could tell you it’s my original. LOL.
I used to agree. But he’s used up and goodwill for thar AFAIC.
Such a shame! /s
They never do. They come into the office at 8:30 to read the New York Times, The WSJ, drink coffee then go to the Club for Lunch.
Looking at some of them I'm surprised it's not 10 or 20%.
