Sen. Leahy back home after being hospitalized

What they're saying: "The Capitol Physician suggested that Senator Leahy go to George Washington University Hospital this evening for observation, out of an abundance of caution. After getting test results back, and after a thorough examination, Senator Leahy now is home," Carle said in a written statement.

• "He looks forward to getting back to work. Patrick and Marcelle deeply appreciate the well wishes they have received tonight."
• Earlier that day, Carle said in a separate statement the senator had been taken to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution" after he said he was not feeling well.

Of note: Leahy’s status in the Senate puts him third in line in the order of presidential succession, after Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
