About a month ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell experienced some sort of an episode during a press conference, and something similar happened today in Kentucky after he was asked a question about running for re-election. Watch:
BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Mitch McConnell appearing to have another scary episode in the media gaggle in Covington today. Aides had to step in to help him out and repeat questions. He was eventually lead away. We'll have the full video on @WLWT pic.twitter.com/q9ex5MHxLV

"We're gonna need a minute."
Perhaps more than that.
Here's more of what we saw at the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Government Forum. Hoping Sen. McConnell is able to take some time to rest @WLWT pic.twitter.com/wU91yTIDZk

So many people at the top of the U.S. government aren't well:
Mitch McConnell isn’t well. Joe Biden isn’t well. Dianne Feinstein isn’t well. John Fetterman isn’t well. This is all just very sad. As a general rule, no one over 80 should have jobs this important. Voters ultimately hold the blame though. pic.twitter.com/rBB1t5jA73

Hopefully the senator sees his doctor and gets some rest.

There need to be term limits, age limits and cognitive assessments for all members of Congress. pic.twitter.com/H99WSsnhP7

Our country cannot go on like this with people this old in power.
Like, our country can simply not go on like this. https://t.co/9aSGYhMePr
This has to stop immediately. https://t.co/WWW9Aq6UJ2

A post-episode update:
NEW: McConnell spox says the GOP leader “felt momentarily lightheaded and paused during his press conference today.”
— Andrew Desiderio (@AndrewDesiderio) August 30, 2023
Aide adds: “While he feels fine, as a prudential measure, the Leader will be consulting a physician prior to his next event.” https://t.co/fbnnH6MsNi
Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
