Speculation is once again flying about the health of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, after he froze up while answering a reporter’s questions – the second such incident in less than two months.
During a press conference in Covington, Kentucky, McConnell halted abruptly when a reporter inquired about his potential bid for re-election. The room fell silent for over 30 seconds as McConnell seemed to freeze in thought.
The incident closely resembled a similar occurrence in July, when McConnell was struck speechless for 19 agonizing seconds during a news conference on Capitol Hill.
On both occasions, McConnell’s responses were delayed and required the assistance of his aides to re-engage with the questioning.
When queried about the first incident, McConnell’s spokesperson provided a brief statement, explaining that the Senate Minority Leader had felt momentarily lightheaded, leading to the pause during the press conference.
A spokesperson said Wednesday that McConnell was “feeling fine” but would consult with a doctor as a precautionary measure before his next public appearance.
President Joe Biden, who is no spring chicken himself, offered his well wishes to McConnell and expressed his intention to reach out to him later in the day.

All these farkalachte geezers Pres. Briben, Sens Mitch M, D. Feinstein, etc. …put them them out to pasture. Their brains are mush with all these boosters.
I think we can at least let him reach the point of tripping on stairs and falling asleep at events before we start questioning his age.
we have a president and many in the senate and congress that old, corrupt and half brain dead 💀 yet we some how have to trust that elections are fair and square
Buying the Brooklyn bridge feels more reasonable
The problem with Biden is that he just blabbers nonsense during episodes it’s much better to just freeze up
it looks like it might be a fairly common diagnosis, which can be confirmed with testing, and treated with medication. but at 81, it may be time to retire from public office.
Agesiiissssssttttt!!!!
How dare you question the competency if our elected officials!
Racist!
How can we mandate term limits in both houses of Congress?
I think if that is his response to “will you run again in 2026” he probably should not run again in 2026
My gosh!
If these are the ones in charge of USA then we really should strengthen our emunah and realize not to rely on humans.
No offence but look at the guy he’s toast!!
any other person would long be in an old-age-home.
