Biden Reacts to McConnell Freezing at Kentucky Event

Senate 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.

Mitch McConnell just needs a moment, he's having a big one. Oops, OK! He just needs a few more moments until it all comes out!

[CedricHudson-lhhb]

Why don't the people of his state consider Mitch's retirement

[larrywilliams]

Both need to go. NO DEMOCRAT or RINOs, Never Again

[jasoncollins]

Not a joke, everything he says before and after these words are lies. Everytime!!

[jessicadavid]

Mitch and Biden need to go! Trump 2024

[godschild]

He's too old. Besides that he's rogue

[rolandrodriguez]

So we pray for the lord to help them both

[canopyfields]

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS BEING TOO OLD TO WORK AND MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS. TIME TO LET GO AND LET THE YOUNG PEOPLE DO IT

[Hwd]

They should both be in retirement homes

[mattw]

The last 6 words he said sums up everything. Literally everything. " I dont know enough to know." Maybe that should be his '24 campaign slogan.

[baxterfaster]

They both belong to the uni party! It shouldn't be a surprise that they are "good frinds".

[jimgodofbiscuits]

That is how it's supposed to work.

There’s a reason at this age you’re usually the one who needs help from family members. They need help out of office and left to someone who is competent.

[brianlopez]

who said "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was fiction ?

"I don't know enough to know." -Biden 2024

This is not even swamp. It's a desert with a single tired vulture slowly spiralling towards the earth around a skeleton of a bison laying next to a half-dry cactus with an old torn cowboy hat sitting on top of it...

[ronaldgoat]

He's going to get in touch with him telepathically of course

[honestlynate]

You may not agree with him politically but you must understand that he's suffering and this is sad to witness.
