Biden Shows No Worries Over McConnell’s Health
President Biden expressed confidence in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s ability to fulfill his duties despite McConnell’s recent moments of hesitation during public engagements. Biden attributed McConnell’s challenges to a concussion he suffered earlier this year and stated that he had no reservations about McConnell’s capacity to fulfill his role. McConnell’s team attributed the hesitations to lightheadedness, and McConnell’s physician issued a statement confirming he was medically cleared to continue with his schedule. Biden and McConnell have a long-standing working relationship dating back to their time in the Senate.
