"McConnell's Airport Fall Adds to Chaos Amidst Wednesday's Freeze-Up"

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell fell and tripped while disembarking from a plane at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport earlier this month, but was not seriously injured. McConnell, who has a history of falls and uses a wheelchair as a precaution in crowded airports, sustained a concussion and cracked rib in a fall earlier this year. Concerns about his overall health were renewed after a recent freeze-up during a news conference. McConnell's office declined to comment on the matter. However, Republican senators have expressed support for McConnell, stating that he is as sharp as ever and they will continue to support him as long as he wants to serve.
