Senate leaders report he "is fine." — DailyMail — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 10, 2024 Daily Mail reports: He also has a cut on his face according to a witness in the room. Sen.

Earlier this year, he shocked colleagues by announcing he would be stepping down from the leadership role. This story is developing.
