Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. said she’s “doing just fine” after a fall at the U.S. Capitol on Friday.
“Thank you to everyone for your prayers - just a few small cuts and I’m doing just fine. I’m a mountain woman, and we’re tougher than a $2 steak,” Foxx posted on X.
According to her office, Foxx slipped while walking down the marble staircase outside the U.S House chamber. She had walked up the staircase to speak with her family in the gallery. After being helped to her feet and looked over by medical personnel, Foxx proceeded on her own to the attending physician’s office to receive treatment for a few individual cuts, her office said.
Foxx is the second elder stateswoman to take a fall in the past month. In December, Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. suffered a fall while walking down a flight of stairs during a trip to Europe with a congressional delegation.
