Norcross transferred out of intensive care unit
Rep. Donald Norcross (D-N.J.) has been transferred out of an intensive care unit (ICU), according to a Tuesday press release from his office. In the press release, the New Jersey Democrat's office said his 'health has continued to improve and he was transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit' at the end of last week. The statement also said he had gone through an antibiotic course and that an infection he faced was 'successfully treated.' 'The Congressman is on his way to making a full recovery,' his office said in the statement. Last week, Norcross's office said in a press release that he had previously been admitted to an ICU at a New Jersey hospital and was said to be dealing with 'an extended recovery that could require physical rehabilitation.' Norcross was transferred to Cooper University Health Care on April 7 'following a medical incident that necessitated his hospitalization' in Raleigh, N.C., Eric Kupersmith, Cooper University Health Care chief physician executive, said in the press release from last week. 'Upon his arrival at Cooper, he was diagnosed with a gallbladder infection known as cholangitis that had progressed to sepsis,' Kupersmith wrote. Kupersmith said a gallstone was removed from Norcross, with the doctor adding later that the 66-year-old was 'responding well to treatment, but faces an extended recovery that could require physical rehabilitation.' Earlier this month, Norcross's office said he had been hospitalized but was stable in the wake of an 'emergency medical event.' 'Congressman Donald Norcross was traveling over the weekend and suffered an emergency medical event likely related to his gallbladder,' the office said in an April 7 statement. 'He was admitted to UNC Rex Hospital in North Carolina on Sunday and is in stable condition, where he is receiving exceptional medical treatment.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

New Jersey Rep. Donald Norcross in intensive care after gallbladder infection progressed to sepsis
New Jersey Rep. Donald Norcross is in intensive care after he was diagnosed with cholangitis, a gallbladder infection that later developed into sepsis, his office announced Tuesday. In a statement, Dr. Eric Kupersmith, the chief physician executive at Cooper University Health Care, said they were able to remove the gallstone. Norcross is now being treated for the infection and its complications. "Congressman Norcross is responding well to treatment, but faces an extended recovery that could require physical rehabilitation. He remains in intensive care," Kupersmith said in a statement. Norcross was taken to Cooper University Health Care in New Jersey after he was initially hospitalized in UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina, earlier in April. Norcross, 66, has represented New Jersey's 1st District, which includes Camden, Burlington and Gloucester Counties, since 2014. Norcross, a Camden, New Jersey native, is the brother of George Norcross, a Democratic power broker who had his racketeering indictment dismissed earlier this year.

House Dem faces "extended" hospitalization in blow to Jeffries
Rep. Donald Norcross (D-N.J.) is still in intensive care more than a week after being hospitalized for a gallbladder inflection and will have to undergo an "extended recovery," his doctor said Tuesday. Between the lines: The development could sideline the New Jersey Democrat as House Republicans try to advance their hulking tax cut and debt ceiling bill. That is rough news for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who hopes to use Republicans' paper-thin majority to his advantage. Jeffries is already down two votes due to the deaths of Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Sylvester Turner (D-Texas), whose seats won't be filled until the fall. What happened: Norcross, 66, was hospitalized last weekend during a trip to North Carolina after what his office described as "an emergency medical event likely related to his gallbladder." He was transferred the following day to Cooper University Health Care in New Jersey and placed in intensive care, with his staff saying his condition was "stable." "His condition is improving, and he is on his way to making a full recovery," Norcross' office said in a statement on April 8. What they're saying: On Tuesday, Cooper University chief physician executive Eric Kupersmith said in a statement released by Norcross' office that the congressman was diagnosed with a gallbladder infection. The infection, called cholangitis, progressed to sepsis, Kupersmith said, adding that his medical team "was able to remove the gallstone and is treating the infection and its complications." Norcross is "responding well to treatment, but faces an extended recovery that could require physical rehabilitation," Kupersmith continued, saying Norcross "remains in intensive care." Zoom out: Norcross' hospitalization comes as attendance is already a concern for both parties in Congress. A growing cohort of House members is eyeing potential runs for higher office, which could make some of those lawmakers less inclined to return to Capitol Hill to vote. Jeffries said last week he is not worried, however, telling Axios that House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) "has done a tremendous job." "We've had complete attendance, absent a handful of medical emergencies," he said.
