McConnell Removed In Wheelchair After Falling Twice

The Daily Beast reports:

Mitch McConnell was escorted out of the Capitol in a wheelchair at the Capitol on Wednesday after the 82-year-old senator fell twice in short succession. One of McConnell’s falls occurred on stairs outside the Senate chamber, causing “panicked looks to flash across his congressional staff and security detail,” reported The Hill.

A group, which included his Republican colleagues Steve Daines and Markwayne Mullin, reportedly rushed to surround McConnell and help him back to his feet. He was able to walk on his own to a Senate lunch, but he fell again during the lunch meeting.

Capitol Police helped close off a hallway to allow McConnell to privately return to his old Capitol office, which is now occupied by his successor, Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
