Pelosi, who is 84 years old and still serving California in the House, is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to return home soon.
Former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after experiencing an unspecified injury during her official visit to Luxembourg, as confirmed by her office on Friday. Reports suggest that the injury occurred when she tripped and fell, injuring her hip while attending an event related to the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. According to her spokesperson Ian Krager, Pelosi is currently receiving "excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals" and remains optimistic about her recovery.Pelosi was part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation, including 17 other House members, traveling to Luxembourg to honor veterans and military officials. Although she will not be able to participate in upcoming anniversary events due to her injury, Krager stated that she is continuing to work from the hospital. Nancy Pelosi, a significant figure in American politics for over two decades, has held the prestigious position of House Speaker twice. She first took office from 2007 to 2011 and reclaimed the position in 2019 after her party regained control of the House. After resigning in 2023 following two terms, she was re-elected to serve in the House for another two-year term.Her hospitalization comes shortly after a similar incident involving outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who sustained injuries from a fall at the U.S. Capitol.
