Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy released from hospital after stroke
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
The new update is that Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has been discharged from hospital and is recovering at a rehabilitation facility. He expects to miss several weeks of Senate votes, temporarily reducing his participation in a chamber where he serves on the Appropriations Committee and is a prominent voice on immigration and gun policy.
Murphy, 53, said doctors diagnosed a small haemorrhagic stroke, a bleed in the brain, after he called 911 last Saturday because he felt something was wrong. Doctors are encouraged by his progress, he said, while asking for privacy for his family. Senators Ben Ray Luján and Chris Van Hollen also had strokes in 2022 and recovered; John Fetterman, who had a stroke that year, uses adaptive technology in the Senate.
