Mitch McConnell Appears to Freeze While Talking to Reporters

While speaking to reporters in Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell once again appeared confused and could not speak. When a reporter asked about McConnell’s thoughts on running for reelection in 2026, the 81-year-old stood silent. This marks the second time the Republican leader abruptly stopped speaking. Last month, McConnell froze for 23 seconds before being escorted away. He returned shortly after, telling reporters he was fine.
