Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy will have surgery Thursday after he fell and broke his hip on Wednesday night. The Democrat is the longest-serving sitting senator.
"Having been born blind in one eye, the senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception. He has taken some remarkable dingers over the years but this one finally caught up with him," Leahy's office said.
Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery "as soon as possible," his office said.
