EMTs were called to the capitol Tuesday afternoon after Sen. Mitch McConnell fell during a Senate lunch and injured his face. McConnell, 82, has given us a couple of health scares recently, “freezing up” in July of 2023 at a press conference and having some sort of episode that August among a gaggle of reporters. McConnell is said to be doing well. Then again, we were all assured that President Joe Biden, 81, was doing well — the best version of Biden ever.

JUST IN: Sen. Mitch McConnell, 82, fell during GOP lunch on Capitol Hill and injured his face, EMTs treating him

It’s time for Sen. McConnell to retire. He’s served his time. This continues to happen, he needs to be home to recuperate, rest and live out the rest of his life.

It will be nice to have a younger president again in J.D. Vance when he takes over.

The problem is if he drops out, a Dem Governor will appoint a Dem replacement

That is problematic.
Can we agree that the age & physical and mental health of elected leaders was never a concern because its long been known that staffers and bureacrats in positions of power are the ones pulling the strings?

I have said for over a year Mitch is not one whit sharper mentally than old Joey Biden. He just doesn’t have to be a responsive as a President does to public demand so they can hide it more. Its pathetic.

Pretty astounding that friends and family members are going to let this crustacean time out on the job. Any normal, caring folks would have pulled him out of service to enjoy the quiet life 10 years ago.

Look at how they let Sen. Dianne Feinstein go out. That was awful.
TERM LIMITS. He should’ve retired years ago.

Congress/Senate is a retirement home apparently
— Kephfas (@Kephfas) December 10, 2024
Apparently.
He doesn’t need to be in government. He needs to be at home with someone taking care of him.

Yes, it is. But Americans get what they vote for, and they keep voting for octagenarians.
