Senator Elizabeth Warren falls in the Senate Chamber...... [View all]

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren took an accidental tumble while on the Senate floor.

Moseying around atop the Senate chamber's blue carpet floors Warren, 76, can be seen on video deep in thought.

She then halts and attempts to lean back on a desk at the front of the chamber.

Suddenly, it tilts over and sends the senator crashing onto the desk.

Lawmakers immediately ran over to help the Massachusetts Democrat climb off the historic desk.

Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., were the first on the scene offering a helping hand to the 76-year-old lawmaker.

Warren's office did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment.

The incident happened late on Wednesday evening as the Senate worked to get President Donald Trump's nominees confirmed.

So oldness is the key? Not mental agility, care for people or being in touch with constituent concerns? Bernardo de La Paz Aug 1 #16
