Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared unwell Wednesday at a information convention with reporters.
The 81-year-old senator froze up mid-sentence initially of weekly on-camera remarks on the Capitol.
Mr. McConnell, who earlier this yr suffered a concussion and damaged ribs after a fall, stared unresponsively for 23 seconds earlier than different Republican senators stepped in to ask if he was alright. Mr. McConnell then left the presser for about 10 minutes earlier than returning to reply questions.
“I’m fine,” Mr. McConnell stated. He declined to reply additional questions concerning the incident or his total well being.
A congressional aide later advised The Washington Times that Mr. McConnell “felt lightheaded and stepped away for a moment.”
“He came back to handle [questions and answer], which as everyone observed was sharp,” the aide stated.
Aides have beforehand denied any lingering well being issues related along with his prior accidents.
