Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is being treated for a concussion after falling at a hotel in Washington late Wednesday.
The longtime Kentucky lawmaker tripped at a dinner event and was admitted to a hospital, spokesman David Popp told USA TODAY on Thursday.
"He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and treatment," Popp said.
"The leader is grateful to the medical professionals for their care and to his colleagues for their warm wishes."
In 2019, the Kentucky Republican, 81, who served as majority leader from 2015 to 2021, tripped and fell at his home in Kentucky, suffering a shoulder fracture.
