U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, a key figure in the Republican party, is on the mend after a fall at the Capitol. Fellow Republican Senator John Thune reassured the public on Tuesday of McConnell's condition, stating he is 'fine' and in his office.

At 82, McConnell is preparing to step down as party leader in the Senate next year. Despite this, he remains committed to completing his current term amidst swirling concerns about his health. Last year, McConnell experienced health issues, notably freezing up during public engagements.

Senator Thune, who is poised to take over McConnell's leadership role, will guide the Republicans as they anticipate holding a 53-47 majority in the Senate. The transition marks a significant shift in the party's leadership dynamics in the coming year.
