Sen. Richard Blumenthal is expected to undergo surgery after he fractured his femur during a victory parade for the UConn Men’s Basketball team in Hartford Saturday.

“What can I say, I love a parade!” Blumenthal exclaimed on Twitter. “Proud to be there. GO HUSKIES,” he later added.

The Connecticut Democrat will undergo routine surgery on Sunday “just to make sure everything heals properly,” he noted on Twitter, adding that he anticipates making a full recovery.
