McConnell took the podium at his weekly press conference and began speaking on the ground about the annual defense act, which he said was followed by:

“good bipartisan cooperation.” But then he seems to lose his train of thought and make the “uh” sound.

Instead of answering, he walked slowly to his office with his deputy, Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming. Barrasso is a former plastic surgeon and Republican No. 3 in the Senate.

McConnell later returned to the press conference and answered questions from the media. When asked what it was, McConnell said it was “Fine”. Not disclosed.

An aide to McConnell’s said he felt dizzy and fainted briefly. The aide requested anonymity to discuss the Senator’s health.

McConnell, 81, was out of the Senate for nearly six weeks when he fell and hit his head earlier this year.

His office later said in a statement that he was injured and had broken bones. His recent comments have become popular, causing some of his colleagues to question his health.

After the press conference, Barrasso told reporters he “wanted to make sure everything was okay” and showed McConnell around the building.

Barrasso said he has been worried since McConnell was injured earlier this year, adding that “and I’m still worried.”

But when asked what he was particularly worried about, Barrasso said, “I said I was worried a few months ago when he fell and hit his head and was taken to the hospital.

I thought he was good and did a great job running our meeting and answering all the questions the media asked him today.

McConnell left his office on Wednesday night to tell reporters he was fine, and after the incident the President called to check on him.

McConnell joked, citing a speech Joe Biden gave after he tripped and fell on a punching bag at his U.S. Air Force Academy graduation in June.
