Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., fell slightly Wednesday on a few steps while exiting the Senate chamber after late-morning votes.
Mitchell, the former Republican Senate leader, was immediately scooped up by colleagues Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., and they headed into a private GOP lunch.
Daines said McConnell seemed just fine. “He walked on his own power to lunch,” he said.
McConnell, 82, experienced a more serious fall two years ago and has since had a few other stumbles and setbacks while back at the Capitol. He ended his run as the longest serving Senate leader at the end of the last congressional session.
