His staff stated the move is a precaution.
On Thursday evening, U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont was admitted to the hospital after feeling unwell. His office stated that he “was taken to a Washington area hospital for tests, as a precaution.“
Senator Leahy is the third-longest-serving U.S. senator ever. As Senate president pro tempore, he is third in the presidential line of succession after the vice president and the speaker of the House.
He has experienced health issues and previously announced his retirement upon completing his current term.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For healing and physical restoration for Senator Leahy.
- For wisdom for the doctors and medical professionals attending to him.
- For the senator’s staff as they monitor his status and keep him informed regarding current Senate business.
