• Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has received medical clearance to maintain his scheduled work commitments, as confirmed by the attending physician of Congress. This decision follows a second occurrence in which the minority leader experienced a temporary freeze while facing the cameras.
• During an address in Kentucky on Wednesday, McConnell encountered a momentary lapse in focus as a reporter inquired about his intentions for reelection.
• Displaying a vacant expression, he momentarily lost track until aides intervened to offer assistance. Subsequently, he promptly resumed the question-and-answer session. This incident bore a resemblance to a similar episode that took place the previous month during the Senate Republicans’ weekly press conference.
