Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized in Luxembourg
Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been admitted to a hospital in Luxembourg during a congressional trip to Europe, according to her office.
Pelosi, 84, was in Luxembourg with a bipartisan delegation to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the WWII Battle of the Bulge.
The California Democrat “sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” her office said in a statement, adding that she was “receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals.”
According to the statement, Pelosi will be “unable to attend” the remainder of the events scheduled for the congressional delegation, but “looks forward to returning home to the US soon.”
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Pelosi may have fallen and broken her hip, which would necessitate surgery.
She was reportedly a key figure in July when she pressured then-President Joe Biden to withdraw from the re-election race, enabling the Democrats to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris instead.
Pelosi has represented San Francisco in Congress for 37 years and is recognized as one of the most influential Democrats in Washington. She made history as the first woman elected as speaker of the House and has held the gavel during four sessions of Congress.
