US Senator Chris Murphy was taken to hospital after suffering a stroke on Saturday, his team has said.
The 53-year-old Connecticut Democrat was at his son’s hockey game when he began feeling “numbness in his arm” and was taken to hospital, his team said in a statement shared with US media. It was discovered in hospital that he had experienced a stroke.
“The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” his team said.
Murphy, who is not up for re-election this midterms cycle, has been campaigning around the country in support of fellow Democrats who are on the ballot this year.
