Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy was hospitalized after suffering a stroke two days before the congressional midterm elections. The 53-year-old senator suffered numbness in his hand while watching his son's hockey game and was rushed to the hospital, then transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for intensive care, according to his chief of staff, Alison Herwitt. The doctors expressed hope for his recovery process. Mr Murphy, who is a prominent Democrat and a potential 2028 presidential candidate, previously described the Donald Trump administration's war plan against Iran as "insane" during a speech at the Middle East Institute. He warned that this possible plan, which may be implemented after the elections, by focusing on civilian infrastructure, will not achieve results and will lead to a catastrophic escalation of tensions and a weakening of the rule of law. The sudden hospitalization of this staunch critic of the government's bellicose policies has attracted media attention on the eve of the critical midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3.
