Rep. Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized and undergoing medical evaluation Friday after sustaining an undisclosed injury during a European trip with a congressional delegation.

It wasn’t immediately clear what type of injury the former House Speaker suffered or how serious her condition is, although she was said to be continuing to work from the hospital.

A spokesperson said the 84-year-old California Democrat is “currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals.”

“Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” Ian Krager, the spokesman, said in a statement.

Pelosi traveled to Luxembourg with a bipartisan congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of World War II’s Battle of the Bulge, a key turning point in the fight against the Nazis.

“(Pelosi) regrets that she is unable to attend … engagements to honor the courage of our service members during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history,” Krager added.

Despite her advanced age, Pelosi appears to be in good health and has suffered few known major medical scares.

She recently won reelection to a 20th term representing San Francisco’s deep-blue 11th congressional district.

Pelosi has remained a major political force in the Democratic Party even after handing the Democratic baton in the House to Brooklyn Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who recently won a second two-year term as minority leader.

She was credited with bulldozing President Biden into dropping his reelection bid after a dismal performance in a debate with President-elect Trump. The two Democratic allies admit they haven’t spoken since, a sign of continuing friction.
