Dem House Rep Hospitalized Over “Medical Event”

The New Jersey Globe reports:

“Congressman Donald Norcross was traveling over the weekend and suffered an emergency medical event likely related to his gallbladder,” Norcross’s office said.

“He was admitted to UNC Rex Hospital in North Carolina on Sunday and is in stable condition where he is receiving exceptional medical treatment. He is currently in good spirits and wants to thank the doctors, nurses, and support staff at UNC Rex Hospital for all their work on his behalf during his stay.”

If Norcross is indeed unable to return to the House this week, that means Democrats could be one further vote short on a crucial budget resolution that passed the Senate last week; House Democrats are already down two seats thanks to recent member deaths, making the path easier for Republicans to pass the resolution on a party-line vote.
