Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tripped while outside his home in Kentucky on Sunday morning, leaving him with a fractured shoulder, a spokesman confirmed.
The incident occurred on McConnell's patio, David Popp said, and he quickly received medical treatment. He has since been released from the hospital. The Senate and House are on August recess, and Popp said McConnell will "continue to work from home."
