Senator McConnell Escorted Away From Press Conference After Freezing Mid-Sentence, Raising Questions About His Health and Ability to Serve in Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was briefly escorted away from a press conference on Wednesday after freezing up mid-sentence while giving his opening remarks. Concerned aides and colleagues came to his side, and he returned a few minutes later to take questions as normal. McConnell's office released a statement saying he was "feeling fine" and had simply "lost his train of thought," raising questions about his health and ability to continue to serve in the Senate.
