The 81-year-old Senate Republican leader is expected to remain in hospital for a few days after suffering a concussion in a fall at a dinner event in Washington.
| Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell was taken to hospital with a concussion after tripping and falling down at a hotel dinner, his spokesman said.
President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House he’d spoken with Mr McConnell’s family. “I think he’s gonna be all right,” Mr Biden said.Concussions can be serious injuries and take time for recovery. Even a single incident of concussion can limit a person’s abilities as they recover. Senators leaving a Republican conference lunch on Thursday said that that Mr McConnell’s staff had given them an update on his condition. Utah Senator Mitt Romney said they were told that “he’s doing well, feels fine, but had a concussion”.He predicted that Mr McConnell would stay in the hospital over the weekend and return to the Senate next week.
