Official Portrait
Scalise had been listed in fair condition on June 23 while recovering his injuries, and he was transferred out of the hospital's intensive-care unit.
The lawmaker was shot in the hip on June 14 when a gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing for a charity baseball game. He entered the hospital in critical condition and has undergone a number of surgeries.
Scalise was among three people shot by 66-year-old James Hodgkinson. The bullet that struck Scalise "traveled across his pelvis, fracturing bones, injuring internal organs, and causing severe bleeding," his doctors said.
