"McConnell's Health Scares and Freezes Raise Concerns over Leadership"
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell is seeking to reassure his allies and donors after experiencing health scares and freezing up in public. McConnell, who has served as the GOP leader for 16 years, has indicated that he will stay in his position until the end of next year. However, questions persist about his future leadership, with doubts arising about whether he will run for leader in the next Congress. McConnell has not disclosed the reason for his recent freezes, but his office has stated that he felt "lightheaded" and would consult a physician. McConnell's potential successors, including John Thune, John Barrasso, and John Cornyn, have continued to support him despite the health concerns.
