U.S. Rep. John Larson experienced a brief medical episode while giving a speech in the House about Social Security. After three minutes of speaking, he froze for about 30 seconds, which led to a slower speech pattern when he resumed. Reportedly, this episode was linked to a new medication he had started. Despite the incident, Larson's office later indicated he participated in multiple meetings and was alert and in good spirits, all while undergoing medical tests from the House Attending Physician.
Larson had what was likely an adverse reaction to a new medication, causing him to freeze during a speech, but he later participated in meetings and is in good spirits.
The incident mirrors a prior occurrence with Senator Mitch McConnell, raising concerns about the health of older legislators as they navigate demanding public roles.
