There have been concerns about Mitch McConnells health due to several incidents, including a moment during a press conference where he appeared to freeze. McConnell is 81 years old and has had previous health issues, such as a fall in 2023 that resulted in a broken rib and a concussion, causing him to miss nearly six weeks of work.
- McConnell's health episodes have shown no evidence of a stroke or seizure disorder, according to the Capitol Hill doctor. However, some doctors have suggested that he may be experiencing small seizures, possibly as a result of the previous concussion.
