Nancy Pelosi, 84, rushed to the hospital after 'sustaining injury' on trip

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was rushed to the hospital on Friday while on a foreign trip. 

Pelosi was in Luxembourg with a bipartisan congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

‘The Speaker sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,’ said her spokesperson Ian Krager.

Krager said she is receiving ‘excellent treatment’ from doctors and medical professionals. 

As a result of the injury, she will be canceling the rest of her engagements on the congressional delegation trip. 

A source told DailyMail.com that she fell down some stairs during the visit, but her injuries are not serious. 

The visit to Luxembourg, hosted by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was announced to commemorate the deadly battle with a bipartisan group of nearly 20 lawmakers.

‘Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,’ Krager went on.

‘Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.’

She was seen in a photo gripping the hand of Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, during a meeting with the Grand Duke earlier Friday.

Her incident comes days after outgoing GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, fell during a Senate lunch this week. 

He suffered a sprained wrist and a scrape on his face. 

Pelosi just successfully ran for reelection in California and signaled that she intends to run again in 2026.

And although she stepped down from an official Democratic leadership position in November 2022, she still holds much power. 

Just this week, it was reported that Pelosi is working behind the scenes to put the kibosh on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ dream of taking a powerful Democratic House position in the new Congress.

The 35-year-old progressive Squad member is looking to become the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, having served as vice ranking member.

But she would have to beat out Virginia Congressman Gerry Connelly, who also launched his own bid for the top committee job.

The lawmakers on the congressional delegation to Luxembourg are meeting with foreign leaders and dignitaries to mark 80 years since the famous battle, one of the deadliest of World War II. 

Earlier Thursday, the Luxembourg Embassy posted a photo of the lawmakers to commemorate their trip.

‘We welcome Bill Nelson and Members of Congress to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg and Belgium,’ the account wrote on on X.

‘The sacrifices of brave #WWII soldiers echo from the past, reminding us that each generation must continue the fight for freedom and democracy.’

Speaker Mike Johnson previewed the trip, saying it is an ‘honor’ to mark the occasion. 

‘In the early hours of December 16, 1944, 80 years ago, Nazi Germany waged a surprise attack against the Allied powers. Now known as the deadliest battle fought by the United States in the entire war, the Battle of the Bulge exemplified the tenacity and determination of U.S. and Allied forces who were willing to sacrifice everything in service of total victory over the Nazis,’ Speaker Johnson said in a statement. 

‘It is my honor to host this Congressional delegation to the site of the Battle of the Bulge and join the world in celebrating the heroic contributions of the young men who fought and died on the battlefield and ultimately changed the course of human history.’
