The Democratic outgoing Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, is injured. The senator was exercising at his home on Thursday when a machine he was using broke, according to a statement his office released.
Reid’s office said in a statement Friday that the outgoing majority leader was exercising at his home in suburban Las Vegas when a piece of exercise equipment broke, “causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face.”
The statement said that Reid plans to return to Washington this weekend and return to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday as the new congressional session begins.
Reid, 75, was treated at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas and kept overnight as a precaution, the statement said.
