Former GOP leader McConnell falls while exiting Senate chamber after Turner confirmation vote

Former Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., fell on a small set of stairs on Wednesday as he was exiting the Senate chamber after a confirmation vote for Housing and Urban Development secretary nominee Scott Turner. 

McConnell, who is 82 years old and a survivor of childhood Polio, fell down the stairs and was quickly assisted by Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla.

It is not clear whether he suffered any injuries, but Fox News was told the former leader appears to be OK. 

McConnell’s office did not immediately provide comment to Fox News Digital.
