Medical personnel follow McConnell as he leaves Senate GOP meeting with apparent injury

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell left a Tuesday Senate GOP lunch with a cut on his face and was attended by medical personnel.

He walked out of the lunch alongside Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) but medical personnel quickly entered his office. He did not attend the weekly Senate GOP press conference, which he typically leads, but incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he’s OK.

“He is fine. He is in his office,” Thune said.

McConnell, a polio survivor, has had multiple falls and health episodes in recent years.
