GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s attending physician and neurology team announced he remains fit to fulfill his duties following the leader’s more than 30-second freeze-up in front of reporters in Covington, Ky.
“After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned,” Brian P. Monahan, MD wrote in a statement on Thursday. “Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration.”
