“After tripping on Tuesday, Leader McConnell is experiencing leg stiffness and will work from home today,” a McConnell spokesman told the Washington Examiner.

The Kentucky senator, 82, sprained his wrist after tripping and falling on Tuesday after Republican senators met for lunch. He was taken to his office after the fall, where a medical staffer attended to him with a wheelchair.

On his way to the Senate floor later Tuesday, McConnell told reporters he was “feeling good.” He had bandages under his left eye and on his left wrist.

The Kentucky senator has had a series of health problems over the last year. He was hospitalized and treated for a concussion in March 2023 after tripping and falling.

He also appeared to have difficulty speaking during a press conference in Kentucky last summer and froze up for about 30 seconds when asked if he would run for reelection, the second such incident.

McConnell will step down as the Senate’s top Republican in January, bringing an end to a record tenure in the position. He was the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history. The Kentucky Republican is expected to remain in the Senate next term when Sen. John Thune (R-SD) takes over at the helm of the Senate GOP conference.

McConnell has pledged to serve out the remaining two years of his six-year Senate term, which ends in January 2027.
