Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) received medical attention after falling following a Republican lunch meeting Tuesday.

A spokesperson for McConnell said the GOP leader tripped after the lunch. 

“He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule,” the aide said in a statement.

McConnell was spotted walking back to his Capitol office followed by a medical team and escorted by Senate Republican Conference Chair John Barrasso (Wyo.), who hosted the lunch meeting.

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.), who led the Tuesday GOP leadership press conference in McConnell’s absence, said the 82-year-old Kentucky senator appeared to be in stable condition after the fall.

“He is fine. He is in his office,” Thune said, referring further questions to McConnell’s staff.

Barrasso told a senator that McConnell had fallen after the lunch, shortly before his weekly press conference. The Hill saw multiple McConnell staffers rush over from their office toward the luncheon area after his fall.

A medical team transporting a wheelchair was spotted following McConnell into his office.

McConnell had spoken during the lunch, and multiple members appeared unaware of the situation as they exited.

A spokesperson for McConnell said he was in his office.

The incident is latest in a line of medical occurrences McConnell has suffered in recent years.

The Kentucky Republican was hospitalized in March 2023 after he fell and suffered a concussion while attending a political event at a Washington hotel. That injury kept him away from the Capitol for multiple weeks as he recovered.

More recently, McConnell had a pair of moments later that year where he froze while speaking to reporters.

In one instance during July 2023, he had a medical episode while appearing at his weekly press conference. His office said that he became lightheaded. He returned moments later to answer questions.

A little more than a month later, McConnell had a similar situation while speaking to the press corps in Kentucky.

As a child, the longtime leader also suffered from polio, which affects him still when he tries to walk up stairs.
