Next week, Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer will resume his normal schedule after recovering from a "mild" stroke.

Over the weekend, U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., suffered a stroke but is currently recovering, according to his office's statement on Tuesday.

Hoyer's deputy chief of staff and spokesperson, Margaret Mulkerrin, announced that he had a "mild ischemic stroke" and sought medical treatment.

""Mr. Hoyer has shown improvement in response to treatment and is symptom-free. He plans to resume his routine next week, according to Mulkerrin. His wife and family express their gratitude to his medical team," Mulkerrin stated."

The potential cause of the stroke was not disclosed.

Since 1981, Hoyer, 85, has been a member of Congress and recently announced his intention to run for re-election in January.

""I am honored to have the health, strength, and passion to continue serving my constituents at this critical juncture for Maryland and America, and I believe there is still much work to be done on behalf of my district, state, and country," he stated."

In 2022, Hoyer resigned as House Majority Leader, having been Pelosi's second-in-command, and was succeeded by Jeffries, a Democrat from New York.
