McConnell to Complete Senate Term Despite Freeze-Up Scare
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Commits to Finishing Term Despite Health Concerns
Amidst growing speculation about his health and calls for his resignation, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made it clear that he has no plans to step down. Last week, McConnell experienced another freeze-up, raising concerns about his ability to continue serving. However, the 81-year-old lawmaker dismissed these concerns during a recent press conference on Capitol Hill.
“I’m going to finish my term as leader. And I’m going to finish my Senate term.”

McConnell, whose term ends in January 2027, was previously hospitalized with a concussion in March after a fall. In recent weeks, he has faced difficulties answering questions and appeared to freeze during press events. However, McConnell’s attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan, has stated that there is no evidence of a seizure disorder or stroke.
Despite the medical reassurances, speculation about McConnell’s condition and future in Congress continues. However, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) revealed that McConnell has received a clean bill of health from medical experts and emphasized that only McConnell himself has the power to decide his future.
