<p>Outgoing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitch McConnell</a> (R-KY) received medical attention on Capitol Hill after he suffered another fall on Tuesday.</p>
<p>POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/10/congress/mcconnell-attended-by-medical-personnel-00193528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that McConnell, 82, walked out of a Senate GOP lunch with a cut on his face and medical personnel followed the lawmaker into his office.</p>
<p>Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-thune-elected-senate-majority-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elected</a> to serve as the next Republican leader in the upper chamber, assured reporters afterwards that McConnell was alright.</p>
<p>“He is fine. He&#8217;s in his office. And any other questions about Sen. McConnell, I’ll refer to staff,&#8221; Thune said at a press conference.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&mdash; CSPAN (@cspan) <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1866565206500896827?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>McConnell&#8217;s office later shared a brief statement with The Daily Wire on the senator&#8217;s condition.</p>
<p>&#8220;Leader McConnell tripped following lunch. He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule,&#8221; a spokesperson said.</p>
<p>McConnell, a childhood Polio survivor, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-to-step-down-as-senate-republican-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> in February that he would not seek another term as GOP leader in the Senate following a couple of health scares in the preceding months.</p>

<p>The senator was briefly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-senate-minority-leader-mitch-mcconnell-discharged-from-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hospitalized</a> in March 2023 with a concussion after falling at a D.C. hotel, and in the months that followed, he appeared to freeze and struggled to answer questions from the press.</p>
<p>After revealing his plans to step aside from leadership, McConnell indicated that he planned to serve out the remainder of his current term in the upper chamber, which ends in January 2027.</p>
<p>&#8220;I still have enough gas in my tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm with which they&#8217;ve become accustomed,&#8221; he said in Senate floor remarks.</p>
<p>During a radio interview that followed, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-says-hes-not-leaving-the-senate-aims-to-fight-isolationist-movement-within-gop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;I’m not leaving the Senate. And I’m particularly involved in actually fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party and so many others as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>McConnell is the Senate’s longest-serving party leader with more than 15 years under his belt.</p>
<p>He is slated to be replaced in the role next month after Thune beat out Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rick Scott (R-FL) in an internal election that took place in November.</p>
