Steve Scalise, the majority whip who was shot when a gunman opened fire during a congressional Republican baseball practice, is doing better but remains in critical condition, according to a statement from MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where the congressman is being treated.
“He remains in critical condition but has improved in the last 24 hours,” the hospital said. “The congressman will require additional operations and will be in the hospital for some time.”
Earlier on Thursday, Donald Trump urged prayer for Scalise and said his condition “more difficult than people even thought at the time”.
“He’s in some trouble,” Trump said during remarks at the White House. “But he’s a great fighter and he’s going to be ok, we hope.”
