Sen. Mitch McConnell did not appear to suffer a stroke or seizure when he seemed to freeze for more than 30 second last week, the Capitol physician said in a letter.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell waves as he leaves his Washington house to return to work at the U.S. Senate, less than a week after he froze for more than 30 seconds while speaking to reporters at an event in his home state of Kentucky, in Washington, Sept. 5, 2023.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., did not appear to suffer a stroke or seizure when he seemed to freeze for more than 30 second last week, the Capitol physician said in a letter released Tuesday.
"There are no changes recommended in treatment protocols as you continue recovery from your March 2023 fall," Monahan wrote to the 81-year-old McConnell.The letter marks the most comprehensive information McConnell's office has released about his condition or the medical treatment he is receiving since he suffered a concussion and broken rib from a fall in Washington earlier this year.
He stayed to answer another question last week, while in July he eventually returned to answer more questions from the press after he was helped away. "Mitch is sharp, and he is shrewd. He understands what needs to be done," South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds said Sunday on CNN. "I will leave it up to him as to how he wants to discuss that with the American public. But there's no doubt in my mind that he is perfectly capable of continuing on at this stage of the game."
