  After the falls, McConnell was seen in a wheelchair as "purely a precautionary measure," a McConnell spokesperson said. "Senator McConnell is fine. The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work," the spokesperson continued.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell experienced two falls at the Capitol, one on Wednesday and another on Thursday, but was reported to be fine, using a wheelchair as a precaution. The first incident occurred when McConnell tripped at a reception, and the second happened while he was exiting a plane.
