Report: Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez Fractures Shoulder Rushing to VoteJacob Bliss 15 Dec 2021
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, fractured his shoulder while rushing to the U.S. Senate floor to vote Tuesday, according to a report.
Menendez’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing ended and he needed to vote in the Senate.
Rushing to the subway, he slipped on the floor en route to the Capitol from the hearing. As a result, he fractured and dislocated his right shoulder, the one he uses to write, NJ.com reported. Menendez said he is “expected to be on the injury list for at least six weeks and might need surgery.”
In pain with his arm in a sling, the senator made the vote and stayed for the rest of the votes, the report added. He told reporters that negotiations regarding the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction were ongoing.
