Washington, DC — Iowa’s senior US senator is now revealing more details about the accident that happened earlier this month that required him to have emergency surgery.
Senator Chuck Grassley, who’s 89, says it was his fault.
Grassley’s office announced on January 10th that he’d been injured and the operation was performed the next day. Grassley, one of the longest-serving senators in US history, says despite the challenges of the past few weeks, his sterling voting record remains intact.
Grassley has long touted his morning jogs and says he’s planning to return to his running regimen as soon as possible.
The New Hartford Republican won his reelection bid this past November and is now in his eighth term in the US Senate.
