WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was seen using a walker during Donald Trump’s election certification process following her recovery from a recent hip surgery.

Pelosi, who fell down a set of stairs and broke her hip last month, has been relying on a walker as part of her recovery. The injury required surgical intervention, according to her office, and has limited her mobility in recent weeks.

The veteran lawmaker attended the certification proceedings despite her physical ailment, which marked a significant moment in the country’s political calendar.

Pelosi has been a vocal critic of Trump’s leadership, frequently stating in recent months that the former president is “unwell” to hold office. Her appearance at the Capitol underscores her continued presence in the political arena despite her advanced age and recent health challenges, leaving many to ask if she is qualified to continue to serve in office.
