Senator Mitch McConnell, 82, fell down a marble staircase on Capitol Hill Wednesday after voting for Donald Trump’s Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner.
The Kentucky Republican’s stumble occurred just after the longtime lawmaker exited the Senate floor.
He was reportedly helped up by Sens. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla).
McConnell, the former longtime leader of the Senate Republicans from 2007 – 2025, has been battling a string of health issues over the last few years.
The Republican has been involved in multiple falls recently which have led to various injuries.
His latest incident was in December when he fell over during a Senate lunch.
Medical staff with a wheelchair were called in to assist after the senator fell during the lunch and sprained his wrist.Â
He also had a cut on his face according to a witness who saw McConnell after the incident.
