The attending physician to Congress says he's cleared Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to continue with his planned schedule
after falling and hitting his head after a dinner event at a hotel.
Dr. Brian Monahan, the congressional physician, released a brief statement saying that he had consulted with McConnell and his neurology team and cleared the senator to continue with his schedule.“Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration,” Monahan said.McConnell’s office had said after the Wednesday incident that he was feeling “momentarily lightheaded.
But the assurances have not eased concerns among Republican senators and have generated intense speculation about McConnell’s ability to remain as leader. The famously guarded McConnell called several of his deputies in leadership after the Wednesday health episode. His health has visibly declined in recent months since the concussion in March.That lack of information has colleagues guessing about not only his health but whether he will run for reelection in 2026 and who may succeed him as GOP leader. But the discussion has remained behind closed doors, for now, with most fellow Republican senators publicly supportive.
