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.

Nah bro, short & sweet, that way he’s just gone right away. Who knows what evil he could do from his deathbed.
Literally could not be worse than the evil he is, and has been, doing as a major political leader in the US for the past 800 fucking years. At the very worst it’ll be just as bad as leaving him where he is right now for a few more days. I think we all deserve a little catharsis in his passing
Not immediately.
Let’s give him just enough time to appreciate the wet shit in his pants as he lies on the ground with the cameras pointing at him.
