WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Capitol physician says 81-year-old Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s health episodes show no evidence of being a stroke or seizure disorder.
McConnell’s office released the information Tuesday as the Senate returned from a summer break.
Questions have mounted over the long-serving Republican leader’s health.
McConnell froze up last week during a press conference in Kentucky, unable to respond to a question.
It was the second such episode in a matter of weeks.
The situation has fueled concern among Republican senators and intense speculation about McConnell’s ability to remain leader.
The long-serving senator fell and hit his head at a dinner in Washington earlier this year, suffering a concussion.
