US Senator Chris Murphy hospitalised after suffering stroke

US Senator Chris Murphy has been hospitalized after experiencing a stroke, according to his chief of staff. The Connecticut Democrat was responding well to treatment and was expected to make a full recovery, her chief of staff stated. Murphy began feeling numbness in his arm during a hockey game for his son on Saturday. He was taken to a local hospital, diagnosed with a stroke, and then transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring.

The 52-year-old senator was traveling across the country campaigning for Democratic candidates, with recent appearances in Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida. His planned campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday are now likely to be impacted by his hospitalization. This development follows Senator Murphy's recent criticism of the Trump administration's proposed military offensive against Iran, which he deemed "insane" and potentially catastrophic.
