The Capitol's attending physician released a statement Thursday about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's health after a scary episode Wednesday when he froze up for half a minute at a press conference.

Dr. Brian P. Monahan said he consulted with McConnell and has also spoken with McConnell's neurology team, and informed the Republican leader that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule.

"After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned," Monahan said. "Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration."

McConnell was at an event in Kentucky Wednesday when he suddenly froze up at the podium.

The Republican leader been asked about whether he would run for another term in 2026 when he suddenly stopped speaking and stared ahead for roughly 30 seconds. Aides approached him at the podium, with one telling reporters they “needed a minute.”

After the incident, an aide for McConnell said the senator felt fine and would consult a physician before his next event out of precaution.
