00:00 I want to say thank you. Top U.S. Republican Mitch McConnell has suffered another health
00:05 scare before the cameras, his second in recent weeks. The senator appeared motionless and
00:11 unable to speak while taking questions after an event in Kentucky. He froze and fell silent
00:16 for about 30 seconds. The 81-year-old`s aides came to his assistance and helped him to hurriedly
00:22 finish the press conference. McConnell was struck by a similar malaise in July while
00:26 talking to the media. President Joe Biden, who`s a year younger, has expressed his concern.
00:31 - Thank you. - You're welcome.
