Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is being urged to step down after being photographed on Wednesday looking weak. He had hurt himself the day before by falling and hurting himself.
The 82-year-old leader of the Senate Republicans has had several health problems over the years, including several falls, one of which led to a concussion.
When the Republican fell, it shocked everyone in the Capitol. The press rushed to his office to see the leader and make sure he was okay. An image of McConnell went viral online after his fall, as someone can be seen pushing the top Republican in a wheelchair.

McConnell’s spokesperson provided an update after the Kentucky Republican fell late last year.
“Leader McConnell tripped following lunch. He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist. He has been cleared to resume his schedule,” a McConnell spokesman said.
