Mitch McConnell says he is 'fully recovered and back on the job' after health scare

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said in an interview that he is ready to continue work after having a very public health scare.

In an interview with CBS's Face the Nation, McConnell was asked about his health episodes following a concussion and if there is anything about his health that the public should know.

McConnell responded: "I'm in good shape, completely recovered and back on the job."

This comes after the political leader froze twice in front of reporters in recent months and fell at least three times since March.

McConnell, 81, has caused concern in the Capitol about his ability to remain the GOP leader.

He suffered a concussion earlier this year when he fell and hit his head at a dinner in Washington, leaving him visibly slower in his speech and mobility.

However, the Capitol physician has said that McConnell's health episodes show "no evidence" of a stroke or seizure disorder.

The doctor wrote: "There is no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease."

The 81-year-old senator quickly moved on from talking about his health in the Face the Nation interview and discussed Republican senators' letter to him concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Nine Republicans asked McConnell not to pair Israel and Ukraine aid together.

But McConnell said in the interview: "I view it as all interconnected. If you look at the Ukraine assistance, let’s – let’s talk about where the money is really going.

"A significant portion of it’s being spent in the United States in 38 different states, replacing the weapons that we sent to Ukraine with more modern weapons. So we’re rebuilding our industrial base."
