CNN —Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, who froze during a news conference Wednesday and earlier this year suffered a concussion after falling down, has also endured two other falls this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
And just this month at Reagan National Airport in Washington, McConnell was getting off the plane when he tripped and fell, a source familiar with this incident said.
His falls have at times caused serious injuries, like in 2019, when McConnell fell at his Louisville home and fractured his shoulder.
In October, McConnell told CNN he would definitely complete his term for the seat he’s held since 1985.
But in May, after he suffered his concussion, McConnell declined to entertain the question about his plans to stay in his seat or run for leader.
