Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has had a long and illustrious career, one that includes reshaping the judiciary and the Supreme Court. But his time leading the Republican conference is in its final phase. He deserves great respect, but after this week’s most recent health scare during a press conference, McConnell’s fellow senators should be prepared for someone else to take the helm.
McConnell’s first reported fall was in 2019, when he fractured his shoulder at his home in Louisville. He also reportedly fell in Helsinki in February this year but was uninjured. Then in March, he fell at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington and suffered a concussion and broken ribs. After that, McConnell took a six-week break from the Senate.
McConnell is not the only denizen of Capitol Hill who has continued working into old age. Sen. Dianne Feinstein is nine years older and is clearly having difficulty fulfilling the functions of her office, but these are considerably lighter than McConnell's.
