Virginia Foxx Injured in Capitol Fall

News summary

North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, 81, suffered minor injuries after falling down the marble staircase outside the House chamber shortly after the re-election of Speaker Mike Johnson. Reports indicate she sustained a bloody nose and a few small cuts but was able to walk to the Attending Physician's office for treatment. Foxx confirmed on social media that she is 'doing just fine' and thanked well-wishers for their prayers. This incident highlights concerns about the health of elderly lawmakers, following similar incidents involving other members of Congress. Foxx has represented her district since 2005 and currently chairs the House Education Committee. The fall may reignite discussions on term limits for Congress due to the frequency of health-related incidents among older members.
