Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky.
The incident is similar to an episode McConnell experienced at the US Capitol late last month and is likely to raise additional questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus.
Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026. McConnell had to ask him to repeat the question several times, chuckled for a moment, and then paused.
Someone at his side then asked him, “Did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026?” McConnell did not respond.

Can’t help but enjoy this, given what a despicable human being he is.
illustrates the love his party members have, keeping him working even after he’s had a stroke on tv twice.
Not only that, but to ask him about his reelection plans.
Get this man into a nursing home.
No matter what, he’ll be sure to recover enough to start posting on Twitter, like Herman.
