Rep. Larson's Incident Attributed to Complex Partial Seizure

Rep. John Larson, a 76-year-old Democrat from Connecticut, experienced a medical incident during a speech on the House floor, attributed to a 'complex partial seizure' and potentially an adverse reaction to new medication. Initially, his team suggested the incident was likely due to medication, but further evaluation revealed the seizure as the cause. During the speech, Larson paused mid-sentence and later resumed with slower speech, raising concerns among observers. Despite the incident preventing him from finishing his speech, Larson was later reported to be alert and engaged in meetings. He plans to return to a full schedule soon, continuing his work for Connecticut's First District. Larson has served in Congress since 1999 and expressed gratitude for the well wishes he received.
