Dem House Rep Now In Intensive Care With Sepsis

Axios reports:

Rep. Donald Norcross (D-N.J.) is still in intensive care more than a week after being hospitalized for a gallbladder infection and will have to undergo an “extended recovery,” his doctor said Tuesday.

That is rough news for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who hopes to use Republicans’ paper-thin majority to his advantage. Jeffries is already down two votes due to the deaths of Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Sylvester Turner (D-Texas), whose seats won’t be filled until the fall.

The infection, called cholangitis, progressed to sepsis, Cooper University chief physician executive Eric Kupersmith said, adding that his medical team “was able to remove the gallstone and is treating the infection and its complications.”
