Former Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., experienced a fall on Wednesday while exiting the Senate chamber following a confirmation vote for Housing and Urban Development secretary nominee Scott Turner. McConnell, who is 82 years old and a survivor of childhood Polio, fell on a small set of stairs. Fortunately, he was promptly assisted by Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla.
Although it is uncertain whether McConnell sustained any injuries from the fall, sources indicate that he appears to be in good condition.
