Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, tripped and fell after a Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday.
McConnell cut his face and sprained his wrist.
McConnell’s spokesperson, Doug Andres, said medical personnel cleared the senator to work.
Andres did not explain what caused the fall. However, he reminded reporters that McConnell “has a weak left leg and has occasionally taken a spill because of lasting effects from polio.”
McConnell sparked health scares last year when he froze and lost the ability to speak.
In July, McConnell had an episode in front of reporters during his weekly press conference.
He couldn’t speak, forcing Sen. John Barrasso to lead him away. Microphones caught Barrasso asking him, “Hey Mitch, anything else you want to say? Or should we just go back to your office? Do you want to say anything else to the press?”
The next month, McConnell froze again at a podium in northern Kentucky.
