Pelosi, 84, had been hospitalized on Friday while she was traveling with a bipartisan congressional delegation to mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge during World War II.

Several news outlets, including CNN and ABC News, reported that she fell down a flight of stairs.

The press office for Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisc., wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he was near her when she “fell during an official event.”

Her incident comes after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had sprained his wrist and cut his face after falling on Tuesday in Washington.
