    Senator Mitch McConnell, 82, fell down the stairs twice at the Senate today after voting to confirm Scott Turner as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He was helped to his feet by Senators Steve Daines and Markwayne Mullin, and medical staff with a wheelchair were called to assist. McConnell then walked to the Mansfield Room without assistance and appeared uninjured. This incident follows previous health concerns, including a fall in December that resulted in a facial injury and episodes of freezing up during press conferences. The falls have increased concerns about his ability to serve.
