Description
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell appeared to briefly freeze up and was unable to answer a question from a reporter at an event in Kentucky on Wednesday. He had a similar episode weeks ago in Washington.
According to video, the 81-year-old McConnell was asked whether he'd run for reelection in 2026. The senator asked the reporter to repeat the question before trailing off and staring straight ahead for about 10 seconds. His office said afterward that McConnell was feeling “momentarily lightheaded” and would see a physician before his next event.
