GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley doubled down on her call to mandate older politicians to take mental competency exams, coming after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) appeared to freeze during an event.

Last week, Mr. McConnell, 81, froze for a period of time while he was taking questions from reporters. He has since been cleared of his duties for the Senate, while some of his GOP colleagues said that he appears to be fine.
