WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland has been released from a Washington hospital, where he was treated for pneumonia, says his spokesman.
Spokeswoman Mariel Saez said Tuesday in an email that Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, was released from George Washington University Hospital over the weekend. The 79-year-old was diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia and admitted to the hospital last week.
Saez says Hoyer is expected to be back at work Tuesday as the House resumes session.
Good to hear. I think half of the federal workforce in DC is sick right now. Nasty respiratory virus going around after a week of 100-degree heat and the constant stress, sadness, and anger caused by this administration. Immune systems are depleted. Gotta fight back!
