McConnell&#8217;s\u200d Fitness for Office<\/h2>\n<p>Megyn Kelly, host of SiriusXM&#8217;s\u2063 The Megyn \u2062Kelly\u200b Show,\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-jim-jordan-gives-ultimatum-on-the-upcoming-electoral-college-showdown-video\/\" title=\"WATCH: Jim Jordan Gives Ultimatum On The Upcoming Electoral College Showdown (VIDEO)\">raised concerns<\/a> about the well-being of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after \u2062his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/megyn-kelly-asks-wheres-mcconnells-wife-after-second-freezing-episode-not-well-enough-to-be-a-sitting-us-senator\/\" title=\"Megyn Kelly questions McConnell's wife's absence: Not fit for Senate role.\">recent \u200cpublic freeze-ups<\/a>. In a thought-provoking\u2064 episode, Kelly also pondered the absence of spouses in questioning the continued\u200c service of \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/physician-gop-senator-wants-annual-senility-tests-for-aging-politicians\/\" title=\"Physician GOP Senator Wants Annual Senility Tests For Aging Politicians\">aging politicians<\/a> like McConnell, Sen. \u200cDianne Feinstein (D-CA), and President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<h3>Examining\u200c McConnell&#8217;s Condition<\/h3>\n<p>Kelly \u2063expressed her worry\u2064 about the \u200cdeclining state of the seven-term senator. During the show, \u200cshe emphasized the importance\u200b of subjecting McConnell to the same scrutiny that Democratic \u200bsenators have faced.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So I take\u200b no pleasure in any of this, but the fact is, he doesn&#8217;t seem well enough \u200dto be a sitting U.S. Senator anymore. He just\u200c doesn\u2019t,&#8221;\u2064 Kelly said. \u2062&#8221;If we&#8217;re gonna call out the John Fettermans and the Dianne Feinsteins \u2062of the world, we&#8217;re derelict if we don&#8217;t do it to the Mitch McConnells of the world. He&#8217;s not being open about what&#8217;s happening to \u200dhim.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell&#8217;s work schedule was cleared by Congress&#8217;s attending physician, who attributed his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pictures-tearful-queen-elizabeth-ii-royal-family-attend-memorial-for-prince-phillip\/\" title=\"Pictures: Tearful Queen Elizabeth II, Royal Family Attend Memorial for Prince Phillip\">recent health issues<\/a> to a concussion and possible dehydration. However, talk show host\u2064 Glenn Greenwald argued that McConnell&#8217;s condition is a matter of public concern due \u200bto his significant power and responsibility.<\/p>\n<h3>Retirement and the Role of Spouses<\/h3>\n<p>Kelly expressed her belief that it should not be solely \u2062up to the public to remove elderly politicians from office \u200bwhen they are no longer capable. Instead, she suggested that spouses\u200b should play a role in gently encouraging \u200bretirement.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;And\u200c I do wonder, I think it&#8217;s a fair question. Where is Jill Biden? Where&#8217;s \u2063Elaine \u2063Chao? \u200dWhere&#8217;s \u2062Dianne Feinstein&#8217;s partner?&#8221; Kelly questioned. &#8220;Because I\u200b know God forbid this ever\u2063 happened to\u200d me, my husband \u200cwould say: \u2018Honey, you&#8217;re \u200bthe bomb. But it&#8217;s going to be\u200d super fun\u2062 for us to travel the Grand Canyon\u200d and the great parks of the United States together\u200d at this point in your career. This is\u2062 what \u2063we&#8217;re going to do. It\u2019s going to be the fun next phase of life \u200dfor us. And maybe it&#8217;s time to step away from \u2062the lectern in the\u200d U.S. Senate or\u200c the microphone&#8217;\u200b \u2014 in the case of \u2062somebody like me. Where are they?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As of now, it remains uncertain\u2063 whether McConnell will seek an eighth term in office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megyn Kelly questioned the mental state of Sen.
