U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized after tripping and falling at a hotel in Washington on Wednesday, his spokesperson said in a statement.
“This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment,” his spokesperson said, giving no further details.
The 81-year-old Kentucky Republican’s legislative skills have torpedoed many Democratic priorities over the years, both when his party held a majority in the chamber and when Democrats have held the edge, as they currently do.
He has long been loathed by Democrats, particularly for his tactics that allowed Republicans to build a 6-3 conservative majority on the U.
