Washington Week

Questions linger over McConnell's future after freeze-up

This week, all of Washington was alarmed when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to freeze up mid-sentence. After nearly 20 seconds, he was helped away from the podium by his colleagues. The 81-year-old later came back, said he was fine, and has continued his work. But questions now linger over the future of one of the most influential Republicans in the Capitol.
