Biden Calls Mitch McConnell ‘A Friend’ and Believes He’ll ‘Be Back to His Old Self’

President 👤Joe Biden commented on Senate Majority Leader 👤Mitch McConnell’s health to Fox News after McConnell froze up while talking again. 

Biden referred to him as “a friend” and noted, “I spoke to him today and, you know uh, he was his old self on the telephone.”

He then concluded, “I’m confident he’s gonna be back to his old self.”

Last month the Western Journal reported that McConnell was drowned out with shouts of “retire” while he was giving a speech at the 143rd Annual St. Jermone Fancy Farm Picnic in his home state of Kentucky.

Concerns about his health have continued to be an issue after McConnell had a bad fall in March and then had multiple incidents where he froze up in July and August.

This second incident has led to more speculation but McConnell has been medically evaluated and cleared to return to work. According to the Western Journal, Dr. Brian P. Monahan stated, “After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned.”

“Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration,” he went on.
