Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been hospitalized due to an injury she sustained during an official trip to Luxembourg. According to her spokesperson, Ian Krager, Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals.
The incident occurred while Pelosi was attending an event with other members of Congress to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, which took place during World War II. A person familiar with the situation reported that Pelosi tripped and fell, resulting in a hip injury.
Pelosi, who is 84 years old, was accompanied by a diverse congressional delegation on the trip. Her spokesperson stated that she is unable to attend the remaining events scheduled during her trip and looks forward to returning home to the United States quickly.
Representative Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas, was among the lawmakers who traveled with Pelosi. He expressed his well-wishes for her speedy recovery on social media, stating that he was “praying for a speedy recovery” for Pelosi.
The incident marks a setback for Pelosi, who has remained active in Congress despite stepping down from her leadership position two years ago. She has continued to work with Democrats in private and public settings and has attended various formal events.
In recent weeks, Pelosi has been spotted at several high-profile events, including the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington and the swearing-in ceremony of her former Democratic colleagues in the House of Representatives, Adam Schiff of California and Andy Kim of New Jersey.
The incident also comes amid a series of health-related issues affecting high-profile politicians. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who is 82 years old, suffered a sprain to his wrist and a cut to his cheek after tripping and falling in the Senate earlier this week.
