"In the video, posted Thursday morning, McConnell is seen trying to cling to security as an activist asks him about ICE raids. He then falls to the floor with a grunt. Sen. Mitch McConnell fell in the Russell basement, while being questioned my [sic] members of The Sunrise Movement, who took this video, EWTN Capitol Hill correspondent Erik Rosales said in an X post accompanying the video."
"After he was helped to his feet, McConnell gestures to the camera with a wave. Snickering can be heard as the senator is escorted out of the building. It's the latest in a series of alarming health scares to plague the 83-year-old former Republican Senate leader, who has served since 1985. Back in the summer of 2023, the senator twice froze up during public appearances, raising concerns about his health. Also in 2023, McConnell was hospitalized after tripping at a hotel during a private dinner."
A video posted to social media shows Sen. Mitch McConnell trying to cling to security while an activist asked him about ICE raids, then falling to the floor with a grunt in the Russell basement. After being helped to his feet, McConnell gestured and waved to the camera as snickering was heard while he was escorted out. The 83-year-old former Republican Senate leader experienced prior alarming health incidents in 2023, including two public freezes and a hospitalization after tripping at a hotel. In February 2024, he announced stepping down as the top Republican and will not seek reelection when his term ends January 2027.
