Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze for about 30 seconds Wednesday during an event with reporters in Kentucky, with the incident coming a month after a similar freeze-up.
Additional video shows McConnell getting help from an aide with responding to other questions and then being led away. If McConnell leaves the post of Senate Republican leader, three GOP senators are viewed as in the running to succeed him: John Barrasso of Wyoming, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota.
The Senate’s median age is 65.3 years old, up from 64.8 in the 117th Congress and 63.6 in the 116th, according to a Pew Research Center analysis from January.
