"Concerns rise as Mitch McConnell freezes again, prompting questions about his health"

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell froze for the second time in just over a month during a press event in Kentucky when asked about his plans for re-election in 2026. McConnell paused for over 30 seconds before recovering and answering two more questions. This incident raises concerns about his health, especially after previous falls and a concussion earlier this year. A spokesperson stated that McConnell felt momentarily lightheaded and will consult a physician before his next event. President Joe Biden expressed concern and said he would reach out to McConnell.
