New Jersey Democrat Bill Pascrell hospitalized again after discharge last week

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) returned to the hospital this weekend after being discharged to a rehabilitation facility last Thursday following his 24-day stay in the hospital for a respiratory infection.

Pascrell, the second-oldest member of the House of Representatives, checked himself into the hospital on July 14 after he had a fever. Later that month, his staff said Pascrell faced a “setback” and required “breathing assistance” but that his doctors remained hopeful for a complete recovery. He was discharged from the hospital on Aug. 8 but has returned, according to the New Jersey Globe.
