Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras.
McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, โIโm fine.โ
Once McConnell re-engaged, he responded briefly to another question about Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican; his aide needed to repeat the question to him.
McConnell was then asked about former President Donald Trump, another question that had to be repeated.
McConnell spoke for about 20 minutes on Wednesday before the question-and-answer session with reporters.
