Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, fell down the stairs at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday after confirming Scott Turner as HUD Secretary. He was assisted by Senators Steve Daines and Markwayne Mullin, but his injuries were unclear. McConnell, who has faced health issues including multiple falls, was later reported to be fine, with his spokesperson confirming he was cleared to resume his schedule. McConnell’s health has sparked concerns, especially after a recent fall led to a concussion. Despite calls for him to step down, McConnell has remained committed to his Senate role, including fighting against the GOP’s isolationist movement. He plans to relinquish his position as GOP leader in November 2025 but will continue serving until January 2027.
