Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former House speaker, was hospitalized after “sustaining an injury during an official engagement” while traveling with a congressional delegation to Luxembourg, her spokesman said Friday.

"While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation," Pelosi spokesman Ian Krager said in a statement.

The spokesperson said that she is currently being evaluated in the hospital and is “currently receiving excellent treatment” and continues to work. The details about the injury or how she sustained it were not provided in the statement.

Pelosi, 84, said through her spokesman that she will cancel the remainder of her engagements in Luxembourg, a country that borders Germany, Belgium, and France.

The statement said she will continue “to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our service members during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history.”

In an X post on Friday, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMcCaul/status/1867632783352271050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1867632783352271050%7Ctwgr%5E77368f629295451f2ab49e6f92c63d7ea69186f3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2024%2F12%2F13%2Fnancy-pelosi-hospitalized-after-injury-in-luxembourg.html">said</a> that he believes Pelosi will make a quick recovery.

"I’m disappointed Speaker Emerita Pelosi won’t be able to join the rest of our delegation’s events this weekend as I know how much she looked forward to honoring our veterans,” McCaul said in his post. “But she is strong, and I am confident she will be back on her feet in no time."

During November’s election, Pelosi won her reelection in California’s 11th Congressional District, which largely encompasses the city of San Francisco. With the win, it means Pelosi clinched a 20th term in the U.S. House.

The San Francisco congresswoman stepped down from her role as House speaker in 2023 but has continued to serve in the lower congressional chamber.

Pelosi had played a key role in passing Democratic President Joe Biden's sweeping $1 trillion infrastructure bill in 2022.

She’s also been a prominent figure in the U.S. capital over a tenure spanning seven presidential administrations. She first served as House speaker from 2007 to 2011, then regained the job in 2019 after her party took back control of the chamber in the 2018 midterm elections.

Democrats lost their House majority in 2022, and Republicans will again hold a narrow majority next year when President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.

Days after the Nov. 5 election, which saw Trump win a second term in the White House, Pelosi said she believed that Democrats could have had a better chance if Biden had stepped aside earlier.

“The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary,” she told The New York Times in an article <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/08/us/politics/pelosi-harris-biden-open-primary.html">published</a> on Nov. 8.

"And because the president endorsed [Vice President] Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time.”

Pelosi said that if that process had started “much earlier, it would have been different.”
