Something really concerning just happed with minority leader Mitch McConnell — the leader of the Republicans in the United States Senate.
Watch.
You can see the 81-year-old appear to freeze during his regular press briefing. You can see fellow Republican Senator John Barrasso who is also a doctor talked with him asking him if he wanted to continue. McConnell decided to step away from the microphones.
Then a few minutes later McConnell came back to the podium and answered this question.
Back in March leader McConnell fell at an event and was hospitalized with a concussion and a rib fracture. He was gone from the Senate for about a month and returned and seemed to be fine. His staff later told reports McConnell just felt lightheaded and stepped away from the podium for a second.
