Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi underwent hip replacement surgery, her spokesperson announced Saturday, after being hospitalized for an injury while traveling in Luxembourg.
The surgery was “successful” and the 84-year-old “is well on the mend,” the spokesperson, Ian Krager, said in a statement.
The California Democrat was hospitalized Friday while traveling in Luxembourg to the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. Pelosi had fallen, according to a person familiar.
In the statement, Krager said Pelosi “is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.”
Although she stepped aside from House Democratic leadership in 2023, Pelosi remains one of the most influential people in the party. In November, she won reelection for her 20th term.
