Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, froze and appeared unable to answer a question at a press event in his home state of Kentucky on Wednesday.
It’s the second time in about a month Mr McConnell has paused then received help from aides while standing at the lectern; on 26 July, he fell silent at a press briefing on Capitol Hill before being escorted away. On both occasions, Mr McConnell’s aides remained calm and gently assisted him.
