McALLEN, Texas | The White House is said to be keeping a close eye on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's looming bad health. The Republican suffered through a bizarre moment during a press conference in Washington, D.C. last week.
McConnell (shown at left in photo above) appeared to freeze at the microphone for a few long seconds, leading fellow Republicans to approach him and grab him ahead of a fall.
Democrats know that if McConnell dies or is incapacitated to the point of being unable to serve in the senate that Kentucky's governor, Andy Beshear, will likely name a Democrat to fill McConnell's post. Beshear is a Democrat.
McConnell has been in the senate since 1985. He is 81 years old.
No prominent names have surfaced in connection with a potential McConnell departure.
