Beskrivelse
Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, fell at a hotel in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night, sustaining a concussion. He is now receiving concussion treatment and is being monitored at a hospital.
The incident took place at the old Trump International Hotel, now known as the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, DC. McConnell was present at a Senate Leadership Fund event.
The 81-year-old is the longest-serving Republican leader in the Senate and is renowned for aiding the party in achieving important goals, such as packing the Supreme Court with conservative justices, implementing Trump-era tax cuts, and repeatedly impeding the legislative agenda of Democrats.
His hospitalization this week coincides with the Senate's razor-thin 51-49 Democratic majority, which controls the chamber.
What is the state of McConnell's health right now, and how will the GOP's future be impacted by his hospitalization?
