Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is being treated for a concussion at a hospital after he tripped at a dinner event Wednesday evening, according to a statement from his spokesman.
“He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and treatment,” David Popp, McConnell’s communications director, said in a statement Thursday afternoon. “The Leader is grateful to the medical professionals for their care and to his colleagues for their warm wishes.”
Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 3 Senate Republican, told reporters that he expects “a full recovery” and that McConnell is awake and talking to people.
