Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was taken to a local hospital Wednesday morning to be treated for dehydration, as the Northeast deals with an intense heat wave.
The 74-year-old Brooklyn Democrat reportedly felt lightheaded while riding a stationary bike in the Senate gym, a source told The NY Post.
A spokesperson for Schumer said he was taken to the hospital as a precaution. He was released shortly after and has already returned to work at the Capitol.
Later in the day, Schumer took part in a press conference about airline safety, joined by families of victims from the 2009 Colgan Air crash. The Northeast has been hit with extreme heat this week, with temperatures in both Washington, D.C., and New York City reaching the high 90s.
