Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal was scheduled to undergo surgery Sunday after breaking his leg during a parade in Hartford celebrating the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team.
The 77-year-old Democrat said he fractured his femur after a fellow parade-goer tripped and fell on him during a victory celebration for the NCAA champions Saturday.
“Routine surgery tomorrow just to make sure everything heals properly,” he tweeted Saturday night. “I expect a full recovery!”
