McConnell I’ll refer to staff,” Thune said during the press conference. This is not the first time health concerns have arisen surrounding the 82-year-old senator. McConnell was captured "freezing" on camera multiple times in 2023. McConnell was also reportedly treated for a concussion after falling at a hotel in Washington, D.C., in 2023.
