Trapped in a Senate subway car

Four Senators are trapped on a stuck Senate subway car, according to a tweet by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).

The subway stalled out between the Capitol and the Hart Senate office building, McCaskill said, leaving her and Sens. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) stuck.

McCaskill tweeted:

Stuck in tram from Capitol to Hart. Broken. Not moving. Lieberman and Alexander in next car. And Voiniitch. Wonder how long we’ll be here?

The lawmakers often use the subway system to avoid the walk between the Capitol and their offices.
