Minnesota Senator Tina Smith hospitalized after not feeling well at Capitol

MINNESOTA, JUL 16 – Senator Tina Smith missed a key Senate vote on a $9 billion rescissions bill after hospitalization and overnight observation at GW hospital, officials said.

  • At the U.S. Capitol yesterday, Sen. Tina Smith felt unwell and was admitted; her office said she was kept overnight for observation.
  • Sen. Smith’s staff posted that the Capitol doctor recommended follow-up examination, supporting her decision to undergo further assessment at GW hospital.
  • The shift reduces the need for Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote, as Republicans in the Senate now hold a temporary seven-vote edge.
  • Her team said she’s on track to be back quickly, while Sen. Smith’s office noted she expects to return soon, following her hospitalization and observation.
  • Her term ends in January 2027, and she announced earlier this year she would not seek reelection in 2026.
