Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 2 Republican in the House, was ready to play ball for the GOP two years after a shooting at a congressional baseball practice nearly killed him.
On June 14, 2017, a lone gunman shot multiple people– including Scalise– at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Va. Republican lawmakers were practicing for their upcoming charity baseball game against Democrats.
Scalise, 53, still undergoes physical therapy and walks with a cane after one of the bullets struck his hip and told reporters: “There were many miracles that day. I am lucky to be alive.”
There were no miracles on the baseball field for his team last night, however. The GOP lost to the Democrat team 14-7.
