Incoming Senate Republican Leader John Thune (R-SD) said that the Kentucky Republican was “fine.”
According to Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), he fell as he was leaving the GOP lunch in a room just outside the Senate floor. He had a small scratch on his face that bled but was “100%” with it mentally. The medical team is ensuring that the injuries aren’t more serious.
McConnell’s team confirmed that he’s “fine” and he was examined by the attending physician.
“Leader McConnell tripped following lunch,” McConnell’s team said in a statement. “He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule”
