Republican Senator Mcconnell freezes again during press conference, raising concerns

Kentucky's Republican Senator Mitch McConnell held a press conference in Covington, where he exhibited some unusual behavior similar to what he had displayed in the past. When a reporter asked him if he would run for reelection, McConnell remained silent for more than 30 seconds, seemingly lost in thought.
His aide intervened and asked if he had heard the question, stating that they needed a moment. After the intervention, McConnell regained his composure and gave brief answers to a few questions before leaving the press conference.
This isn't the first time McConnell has exhibited such behavior. In a press conference at the US Congress on July 26, he froze for about 20 seconds during his keynote address, leaving his colleagues confused. He later explained that he was fine.
McConnell's health has led to speculation about his potential retirement from his position as Senate minority leader. This incident is reminiscent of other instances involving political figures, such as US President Joe Biden's peculiar behavior after press conferences and public appearances, which have sparked discussions on social media about the fitness of leaders in power.
