On Wednesday U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 81, experienced what appeared to be another medical episode during a GOP leadership press conference. In the video, McConnell freezes for an extended period and appears disoriented when asked about the possibility of running for re-election in 2026.
“What are my thoughts about what?” McConnell asked.“Did you hear the question Senator? Running for re-election in 2026?” an aide asked after the reporter repeated the question.
McConnell’s staff quickly intervened, steadying the Senator and wrapping up the press event without providing immediate clarification about his condition.
McConnell also froze up in a press briefing in July.
