Mitch McConnell seen in wheelchair after Capitol fall

News summary

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was seen in a wheelchair after falling twice at the Capitol, with assistance from fellow senators. A spokesperson confirmed that McConnell is 'fine' and using the wheelchair as a precaution due to the lingering effects of polio in his left leg. Despite the incident, he attended a Republican caucus lunch shortly after the fall, where he was described as engaged. McConnell's health has been a concern over the past few years, with previous incidents including falls and episodes of freezing during public appearances. His recent fall occurred while leaving the Senate chamber after a vote, and he was helped back to his feet by Montana Senator Steve Daines. McConnell's office reassured that these health challenges will not disrupt his regular work schedule.
