WASHINGTON (AP) — Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized 
after she “sustained an injury” during an official engagement in 
Luxembourg, according to a spokesman.

Pelosi, 84, was in Europe with a bipartisan congressional delegation to 
mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Her 
spokesman, Ian Krager, said in a statement that she is “currently 
receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals” and 
is unable to attend the remainder of events on her trip.

He did not describe the nature of her injury or give any additional 
details, but a person familiar with the incident said that Pelosi tripped 
and fell while at an event with the other members of Congress. Another 
person familiar with the situation said she injured her hip. The people 
requested anonymity to discuss the fall because they were not authorized 
to speak about it publicly.

Krager said that Pelosi “looks forward to returning home to the U.S. 
soon.”

Among the members on the trip was Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who posted 
on social media that he was “praying for a speedy recovery,” for Pelosi. 
The two lawmakers were captured holding hands in a group photo Friday at 
the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg.

“I’m disappointed Speaker Emerita Pelosi won’t be able to join the rest of 
our delegation’s events this weekend as I know how much she looked forward 
to honoring our veterans,” McCaul wrote on X. “But she is strong, and I am 
confident she will be back on her feet in no time.”

The former leader’s fall comes two years after her husband Paul was 
attacked by a man with a hammer at their San Francisco home. The man, who 
was sentenced in October to 30 years in federal prison, broke into their 
home looking for Pelosi.

Pelosi, who was first elected in 1987 and served as speaker twice, stepped 
down from her leadership post two years ago but remained in Congress and 
was re-elected to represent her San Francisco district in November.

She has remained active in the two years since she left the top job, 
working with Democrats in private and in public and attending official 
events. Last summer, she was instrumental in her party’s behind the scenes 
push to urge President Joe Biden to leave the presidential ticket.

She attended the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington last weekend and was 
on the Senate floor Monday to attend the swearing in of her former 
Democratic House colleagues, Adam Schiff of California and Andy Kim of New 
Jersey.

Earlier this week, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, tripped 
and fell in the Senate, spraining his wrist and cutting his face. 
McConnell, who is stepping down from his leadership post at the end of the 
year, missed Senate votes on Thursday after experiencing some stiffness in 
his leg from the fall, his office said.
