Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell tripped and fell at a hotel and was hospitalized, a spokesman for the senator said.
McConnell, 81, was attending a private dinner at a local hotel when he tripped. He was admitted to a hospital for treatment, spokesman Doug Andres told the press Wednesday night.
'This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment,' he said.
McConnell's office did not provide additional detail on his condition or how long he may be absent from the Senate.
A reporter for Punchbowl News tweeted that McConnell had been attending an event at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington.
