WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Elizabeth Warren took a hard tumble on the Senate floor this week when she lost her balance and fell, briefly disrupting chamber proceedings.
Video footage captured the Massachusetts senator standing when she suddenly staggered backward, knocking into a desk before collapsing to the ground. The incident occurred during a routine session and was immediately witnessed by colleagues and staffers.
Nearby officials quickly rushed to assist her, helping her back to her feet within moments.
She appeared shaken but was able to walk away from the area under her own power.
There was no immediate statement from her office, and it is unclear whether any medical attention was required following the fall.
The footage, which quickly circulated on social media, shows the 75-year-old senator being supported by multiple aides as she regains her footing.
The incident caused a brief pause in Senate activity but did not result in any formal recess.
