Rep. Foxx’s Fall Sparks Debate on Age in Congress
Eighty-one-year-old Representative Virginia Foxx fell on the marble staircase outside the House chamber after visiting her family in the gallery. She received immediate medical attention for minor cuts and proceeded to the Attending Physician’s office for treatment. This incident follows recent falls by other elderly lawmakers, including Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. Foxx, who represents North Carolina’s fifth district, is reportedly in stable condition.
