WASHINGTON, D.C. (Gray News) – Sen. Mitch McConnell fell twice at the Capitol Wednesday, according to multiple reports.

The Kentucky Republican had just cast a confirmation vote before he fell while walking down a small set of stairs near the Senate Chamber, according to NBC News.

McConnell reportedly told witnesses he was “fine” after the falls, according to CNN.
