On July 26, during a routine press conference, 81-year-old Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell unexpectedly halted his speech, staring blankly ahead. He appeared to tremble slightly and tightly grasped the sides of the podium for 21 seconds. Observing his condition, those around him quickly approached, inquiring about his well-being. Senate Minority Whip John Thune overtook the press conference upon Mr. McConnell’s exit.
