The veteran PBS newswoman tripped in her Washington-area home while walking downstairs Monday, carrying material she was using to prep for the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin.
“Another crazy twist in a crazy week,” said Ifill, moderator of PBS’ “Washington Week” and senior correspondent on “The NewsHour.”
