Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., crashed during a Republican luncheon on Tuesday.

Fox News reported that a wheelchair was rolled into the senator’s office shortly before 1 p.m., and a Washington, D.C., fire and rescue team emerged from his office a short time later.

McConnell was not present at the Senate Republicans’ weekly news conference on Tuesday.

When asked about McConnell’s downfall during the press conference, Senator John Thune responded that McConnell was doing well.

“He’s in his office,” Thune said. “And I will refer any other questions about Senator McConnell to staff.”

A spokesman for McConnell told Fox News Digital: “Leader McConnell stumbled after lunch. He sustained a minor cut on his face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule.”

This is not the first time the Republican leader has fallen.

McConnell suffered a concussion after a fall last year.

He also had two public episodes in which he appeared to freeze while addressing reporters.

In one of those incidents, McConnell was answering questions from reporters in Covington, Kentucky, in August 2023 when he froze for more than 30 seconds.

He previously froze for about 30 seconds during a press conference alongside other Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC a month earlier. At the time, an employee told Fox News Digital that he “got dizzy and stepped away for a moment.”

As the longest-serving Senate leader in history, McConnell has faced increasing calls from his party to retire over the past year, and earlier this year he announced he would step down from his leadership role.
