The speaker added, “Then later that night, there was an event, Major League Baseball, where he gave a speech and I spoke after him. So, no, I have no concern.”

Following McConnell’s mishap, pundits and medical experts in the media have speculated the GOP Senate leader suffered a neurological event, such as a stroke.
