Mitch McConnell’s future is in the spotlight after the 81-year-old froze for about 20 seconds during a press conference Wednesday.
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to serve the rest of the 118th Congress as the GOP leader, according to a statement from a spokesman for the Kentucky Republican.
The statement didn’t address his plans for the next Congress, which starts in January 2025. Politico and CNN first reported on the statement. If McConnell leaves the minority leader post, three GOP senators are viewed as in the running to succeed him: John Barrasso of Wyoming, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota.
The 81-year-old politician’s future is in the spotlight after he froze for about 20 seconds during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
