Pelosi was part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge when the incident occurred. Sources indicate that she injured her hip after tripping during the event. Spokesman Ian Krager assured the public that Pelosi is "receiving excellent treatment" and is in stable condition.
Despite the injury, the long-serving congresswoman from California remains optimistic about returning home soon and is reportedly continuing her work from the hospital. Notably, she has had a significant political career that spans seven presidential administrations, recently being elected to another two-year term in the House after stepping down as Speaker earlier this year.
Pelosi's injury coincides with another recent incident involving former Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who also suffered a fall at the Capitol, highlighting the challenges faced by lawmakers as they fulfill their duties.
