McConnell's Podium Freeze: Is It Time to Step Down?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reassured the public of his well-being after a brief, unexpected pause during a Senate Republican leadership press conference. In a peculiar moment, McConnell interrupted his speech for over 20 seconds, maintaining a fixed gaze ahead. Concerned GOP colleagues approached him, prompting inquiry into his condition. Subsequently, Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, a physician, promptly escorted McConnell away from the lectern.
