Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, confidently reaffirmed his commitment to finish his term as leader amidst concerns about his health, according to the AP. McConnell addressed his fellow GOP senators during a weekly, closed-door lunch, pointing to a statement from attending physician, Brian P. Monahan, regarding his health. McConnell assured everyone that he is ready to tackle the Senate’s upcoming fall agenda, dismissing any questions about his well-being.
Monahan’s statement, released by McConnell’s office, confirmed that there was no evidence of a stroke or seizure disorder following the incidents where McConnell froze up and struggled to speak at news conferences. McConnell previously suffered a concussion earlier this year after falling. Despite requests for more detail regarding his condition, McConnell simply stated, “I’m going to finish my term as leader and I’m going to finish my Senate term.”
McConnell’s public and private statements aim to alleviate concerns about his health and his ability to lead the Senate. Although criticism has surfaced regarding his lack of transparency, McConnell attributed his health issues to the concussion. Other Republican senators expressed satisfaction with McConnell’s explanation for the incidents, which occurred in July and last week in Kentucky.
