"Concerns grow as Mitch McConnell freezes again, sparking retirement speculation"
Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the US Senate, experienced another public health scare when he appeared to freeze for more than 30 seconds while speaking to reporters in Kentucky. McConnell, 81, was eventually escorted away by staff. This incident follows previous reports of McConnell suffering falls and freezing during public appearances. McConnell's health concerns have raised questions about the age and retirement of politicians, including President Joe Biden, who is the oldest president in US history. McConnell's aides have stated that he will stay in his role as Republican leader until the end of his term in 2026.
