Pelosi’s Staff Provide Update After She Suffers ‘Hard Fall’ In Germany

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was injured while traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. During the official event, Pelosi reportedly fell down a flight of stairs and was hospitalized for evaluation. A spokesperson for Pelosi confirmed that she is receiving excellent medical care and expressed regret that she would not be able to attend the remainder of the trip to honor American WWII veterans. While the injury has not been fully detailed, reports suggest that Pelosi suffered a broken hip, with doctors confident that a routine operation could repair the damage.

Pelosi’s fall comes just days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, experienced a fall of his own, tripping after lunch and sustaining a minor facial cut and wrist sprain. McConnell’s office confirmed that he was cleared to resume his schedule following the incident. Both Pelosi and McConnell’s accidents have drawn attention to the physical challenges faced by aging politicians, highlighting the toll that time can take, even on those in high-profile positions of leadership.
