Sen. Chris Murphy is being hospitalized following a stroke, an aide to the Connecticut Democrat said Sunday.
“Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke,” Allison Herwitt, Murphy’s chief of staff, said in a statement

“He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” she added.
Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 White House candidate, has been traveling the country to campaign for candidates, including recent stops in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida. He had been previously scheduled to attend campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday.

I love and trust Chris Murphy. He is a down-to-earth voice of reason. Hopefully he recovers quickly with no major issues.

If this happened to any ABC republican on conservative... hypocrites all of them.

While I wish Senator Smurfy well in his recovery, perhaps this TDS affliction caused it. Just sayin...
