GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell tripped on Tuesday, spraining his wrist and sustaining "a minor cut to the face," his office said in a statement. The incident is the latest in a high-profile string of health issues for the 82-year-old Kentucky Republican. "Leader McConnell tripped following lunch. He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule," a McConnell spokesman said in a statement. McConnell fell while walking from a closed-door GOP lunch at the Capitol to the Senate floor, according to a source familiar with what happened. The source also pointed out that McConnell has always had a weak leg from when he had polio as a child. Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, who is a physician was with McConnell after he fell, also said that the Kentucky Republican is fine and noted that after the incident he "walked back from lunch, back to his office." |
