It is not clear if he suffered any injuries, but Fox News was told that the former leader seems to be ok.

“Senator McConnell is fine. The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not interfere with his regular work,” said a spokesman for McConnell.

Wednesday’s fall is the latest in a number of tumbling that the long -time former leader has taken over the past few years. Most recently, McConnell fell on Capitol in December while leaving a Senate GOP lunch.
