Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi suffered an injury and was hospitalized for treatment while traveling in Luxembourg to the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, according to spokesperson Ian Krager.
In a statement, Krager said she “sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation.”
The California Democrat, her spokesperson said, is “receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals” and “continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history.”
Pelosi stepped aside as House Democratic leader in 2023 after Republicans regained control of the House, but she retains great influence within the conference. She served two stints as speaker of the House and is widely considered one of the most effective vote counter in modern congressional history.
Pelosi, 84, just won reelection to another term to her San Francisco-anchored House seat in November by a wide margin.
