0:23Now PlayingSenate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell froze after a reporter Wednesday asked his thoughts on seeking re-election, the second public episode in as many months to raise concerns about the 81-year-old’s ability to remain in office.
McConnell abruptly stopped and stared ahead for more than 30 seconds after the reporter’s question about a potential 2026 run during an appearance in Covington, Kentucky. An NBC reporter posted video of the exchange on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Eventually, a woman standing next to him stepped forward to ask if he had heard the question. When he didn’t move, she said to the group, “I’m sorry we’re going to be a minute.” Then she and another person went to him. Seconds later he said, “okay” but didn’t respond to the question.
