Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., was discharged from a hospital on Friday after he had been admitted the previous night when he was feeling unwell, according to his office.
Leahy “spent an uneventful night in the hospital last night for tests and observation” in the Washington, D.C., area, his spokesperson, David Carle, said in a statement late Friday afternoon.
The 82-year-old senator underwent precautionary tests, his office has said, and stayed overnight on the advice of his doctors.
He was hospitalized in January 2021 after presiding over former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and this June after breaking a hip.
The senator and his wife, Marcelle Leahy, plan to fly to Vermont on Saturday for previously scheduled events in the coming days, including a press conference Monday at GlobalFoundries’ Essex Junction plant.
Leahy plans to retire in January.
