US Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, suffered a fall on the Senate floor on Wednesday during a vote, prompting an unexpected moment of bipartisanship as Republican senators rushed to her aid. Footage from the chamber showed Warren attempting to sit on a desk before tipping over backwards and landing on the floor.Republican Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Susan Collins of Maine were among the first to rush to her side, with Cruz offering his hand as Warren stood back up.Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and John Barrasso of Wyoming also walked over to assist. The incident occurred while the Senate was voting on two resolutions aimed at blocking military sales to Israel. Warren voted in favour of both resolutions, which were introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont and a vocal critic of Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Fox News reported. Every Republican senator voted against the resolutions.Warren’s tumble sparked comparisons to past mishaps involving former President Joe Biden, who stumbled during a 2023 commencement ceremony at the US Air Force Academy and again in 2024 while stepping off Air Force One in Michigan.
