freeze up

Were it not for one very, very bad freeze-up on camera, in fact, he might still be on the campaign trail telling us that today.

After the freeze-up in July, CNN reported McConnell fell two other times this year.

After last week’s freeze-up, the attending physician to Congress cleared McConnell to continue with his planned schedule.

Republican Rep. Jim Banks posted a picture on X, formerly Twitter, showing Mr. McConnell chatting with him at his fundraiser, just hours after the freeze-up.

Mr. McConnell’s latest freeze-up happened after a reporter asked him if he plans to run for another Senate term in 2026.
