Acting House Majority Whip Patrick McHenry Suffering From Pneumonia

McHenry, R-N.C., has temporarily taken over for Steve Scalise, R-La., who was wounded as Republican lawmakers practiced for a charity baseball game.

"Early Saturday morning Congressman McHenry was diagnosed with pneumonia," the Citizen-Times newspaper in Asheville, N.C., quoted a statement from his office.

"In light of this diagnosis and under advisement of his doctor, the congressman will be postponing his first round of town hall meetings."
