Seasoned flight paramedic on McConnell's bizarre medical episode

On Wednesday (July 26), Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) went silent for around 20 seconds during a press conference and was ushered away by Senator John Barrasso (an orthopedist) and others. Did he have a temporary stroke? What it an absence seizure? Should he consider resigning or not running for reelection in 2026? He is 81 years old and has been in the government since 1975.
