McConnell’s Fall Sparks Debate on Age in Politics
On December 10th, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell fell at the Capitol after a Republican luncheon. Following the fall, Senator McConnell, reportedly accompanied by Senator Barrasso and a medical team, returned to his office. Fellow Senator Thune later confirmed McConnell was fine and back in his office. This incident follows previous episodes of McConnell freezing during press conferences, raising renewed concerns about his health. The Senator himself has previously stated he is fully recovered from a concussion suffered earlier in the year.
