Do you think Senator Mitch McConnell is mentally fit to continue serving in office?

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate Minority Leader, has experienced two widely reported incidents that raised public concern about his health and fitness for office. In both cases, he appeared to "freeze" mid-sentence during press conferences — once in July and again in August — standing silently for an extended period and appearing disoriented. In each incident, he had to be assisted by aides before continuing or exiting the stage.

At 81 years old, McConnell is among the oldest serving members of the U.S. Senate, and these events have intensified ongoing national debates about the age and mental fitness of aging political leaders. While his office later stated he was medically cleared and feeling fine, critics and observers remain divided.
