Senate GOP Leader John Thune said McConnell is doing “fine.”
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell fell during the Senate Republican lunch on Tuesday.
It is unclear if McConnell, 82, sustained any injuries or what the severity of the fall was. Two medical responders were seen briefly entering his office and have since departed.
Newly-elected Senate Republican Leader John Thune, who will take the mantle from McConnell in January, was asked about McConnell’s fall during the Republican press conference after the lunch.
“He’s fine, he’s in his office,” Thune said, deferring further questions to McConnell’s staff. McConnell’s office has not yet released a statement.
