In brief

Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after sustaining injuries to her hip during an event in Luxembourg, according to her office.

Pelosi, 84, was part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge when the incident occurred. Reports indicate she tripped and fell, resulting in her hospitalization for treatment. Spokesperson Ian Krager reassured that she is receiving "excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals."Despite the injury, the former House Speaker is continuing her work from the hospital and is eager to return home soon. Pelosi, who has been a stalwart figure in U.S. politics for decades, served as House Speaker during two separate terms from 2007 to 2011 and from 2019 to 2023, with a significant impact on legislative affairs.Pelosi was traveling alongside 17 other members of Congress, and her participation in the commemorative events will be limited due to her injury. The delegation includes veterans, their families, and military officials as they honor the anniversary. Pelosi’s hospitalization follows a recent incident where outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also sustained injuries due to a fall at the U.S. Capitol.
