"McConnell's Health Scare Raises Questions About His Future in the Senate"

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been medically cleared by the Capitol attending physician after an apparent freeze episode during a press conference. McConnell's office released a statement from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, who consulted with McConnell and his neurology team, stating that McConnell is medically clear to continue with his schedule. The incident raised concerns about McConnell's health, but his office attributed it to lightheadedness. This is the second such incident in recent weeks, prompting calls for transparency. President Joe Biden spoke to McConnell and expressed confidence in his recovery, stating that it is not unusual to have such responses after a severe concussion.
