Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was hospitalized late Wednesday after a fall, according to a spokesperson for the senator.

David Popp, the Kentucky Republican’s communications director, said in a statement: “This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment.”

No further word on his condition was immediately available.

McConnell, who turned 81 on Feb. 20, is the longest-serving Senate leader in American history.

Father-in-law is almost 80 and just fell last week, looked like he just got done with boxing match, two black eyes and a fractured spine. Once you get that that age it doesn't take much.
