Rep. Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized after sustaining an injury during an official engagement in Luxembourg. A spokesperson confirmed that she is continuing her work despite the incident. It was reported that Pelosi fell on the stairs, leading to her hospitalization. However, her office chose not to disclose specific details about how the injury occurred. Following the fall, the U.S. military arranged for her to be medevacked from Luxembourg to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. This facility is a prominent military hospital that has long served U.S. troops injured in combat.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 84, is receiving “excellent” care from doctors and medical professionals, according to her spokesperson, Ian Krager. Pelosi was in Luxembourg with a bipartisan Congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge when she sustained an injury during an official event and was hospitalized for evaluation.
Krager stated that Pelosi is being well cared for and continues to work, although she regrets not being able to attend the rest of the scheduled events to honor the bravery of U.S. servicemembers. He added that she looks forward to returning to the U.S. soon.
Pelosi’s injury comes just days after Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, 82, tripped and fell at the U.S. Capitol, sustaining a sprained wrist and a minor cut to his face. A spokesman confirmed that McConnell was cleared to resume his schedule after treatment.
