Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., vowed to finish his term in office, brushing off questions about his health after he froze up in public twice this summer. McConnell said he had no announcements to make about retiring from the Senate. His current term ends in January 2027. On two separate occasions this summer, McConnell briefly froze up and lost the ability to speak during press events. The attending physician for the U.S. Congress said after evaluating McConnell that the senator can perform his duties and that there was no evidence he suffered a stroke.
