Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, froze up for a second time while receiving questions during a press conference on August 30th. He was escorted away by his team, to avoid further concerns about his health. This not only led to people to poke fun at his condition, but also raised some serious questions about an age limit in our government.
The narrative that older people are not fit to lead our government, an opinion that has grown recently in popularity, has been a major talk of voters. Members from Mitch McConnell’s camp claimed it was due to a prior concussion, but we don’t know for sure. McConnell has always been a private person when it comes to his health, not discussing details is not out of the ordinary for his team. He will not back down, and finish his term.
