Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, one of the most influential figures in Washington, D.C., has been hospitalized after tripping and falling at a hotel in the U.S. capital, his spokesperson said
McConnell has long been criticized by Democrats, particularly for his tactics that allowed Republicans to build a 6-3 conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, including having the Senate refuse to consider a 2016 nomination to the high court by Democratic then-President Barack Obama.
With Republicans now holding a narrow 222-213 majority in the House of Representatives, McConnell has so far stayed out of the limelight in the debate over raising the U.S. debt ceiling, leaving talks to Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Senate Republicans this year re-elected McConnell as their leader. Senator Rick Scott of Florida challenged McConnell for the right to lead the Republican caucus with the backing of other Trump allies including Senator Josh Hawley."Susan and I are keeping @LeaderMcConnell in our prayers and wish him a speedy recovery," Republican Senator Thom Tillis posted on Twitter, referring to his wife.
