Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was captured on camera Thursday taking a hard fall in the hallway of a Senate office building.<\/p>\n

The 83-year-old lawmaker, who was heading to the Capitol for votes, appeared to reach for an aide\u2019s arm moments before losing his balance and falling.<\/p>\n

McConnell, who announced earlier this year that he will not seek reelection in 2026, was promptly assisted to his feet by the aide and a Capitol Police officer.<\/p>\n

The aging Republican then waved at bystanders before shuffling away. \u201cHe\u2019s all good,\u201d McConnell\u2019s spokesperson told the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>. \u201c[He] went on to vote and [is] ready to vote again \u2026 to see if Dems decide to fund our nation\u2019s defense priorities or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fall was recorded by the left-wing activist group Sunrise Movement.<\/p>\n

McConnell, the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, has experienced multiple falls and health incidents in recent years, including several moments in which he appeared to freeze during public appearances.<\/p>\n
