The leader of the Republicans in the US Senate, 81-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell, appeared before journalists in Covington, Kentucky.
Frozen AGAIN
McConnell remained silent for more than 30 seconds, staring into space as though he were absent, when a reporter asked if he would run for reelection.
At that time, McConnell’s aide came up to him and asked the senator if he had heard the question, and told reporters, “We’re going to need a minute.” said.
HE CAME TO HISSELF BY THE INTERVENTION OF HIS ASSISTANT
McConnell, who came to his senses after the intervention of his assistants, left the press conference by giving short answers to a few questions he received loudly.
Frozen for 20 seconds
The Senate minority leader, the Republican senator, froze for about 20 seconds while giving his keynote speech at a press conference in the US Congress on July 26.
The deputies next to him were confused for a while, and McConnell, who stepped aside without saying anything, later appeared before the journalists again and said that he was fine.
McConnell, who has been the leader of the Senate Republican group since 2007, was treated for a concussion and a broken rib after falling in a Washington hotel in March, and was absent from the Senate for a while due to his treatment.
McConnell’s health caused controversy that he should now retire from his position in the Senate.
