The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) was hospitalized this evening after taking a fall at his New Jersey home. The paper reports Lautenberg is in good spirits and has been kept overnight for “observation.”
Lautenberg, 86, is New Jersey’s senior senator and is currently in his fifth term representing the state. On Friday, the paper reports, he returned from Haiti, which he had visited as part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation that ventured to the recovering island nation.
