Democrat lawmaker freezes on House floor after suffering adverse reaction to medication
Fox News
Rep. John Larson, D-Ct., froze and began slurring his speech while delivering remarks. In response to the incident, his office says that the congressman is "in good spirits."
"Congressman Larson appreciates the well wishes from everyone who has reached out. This afternoon, he had what was likely an adverse reaction to a new medication and is having tests administered by the House Attending Physician out of an abundance of caution," Larson’s office wrote in a statement. Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
"He later participated in multiple meetings in his office and was alert and engaged. The Congressman remains in touch with his staff and in good spirits."
