Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fell twice on Wednesday ― once leaving the Senate chamber and again inside a closed-door Republican conference lunch just minutes later.
The 82-year-old former Senate GOP leader, a childhood polio survivor, is using a wheelchair as a precautionary measure after the pair of spills at the U.S. Capitol.
“Senator McConnell is fine. The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work,” a McConnell spokesperson said in a statement to HuffPost.
