The Capitol attending physician on Thursday said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is “medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned,” after he appeared to freeze up while taking questions from reporters Wednesday.

Brian Monahan, the attending physician, said he consulted with McConnell and conferred with the GOP leader’s neurology team. He added that occasional lightheadedness, which a McConnell spokesperson said the senator experienced following Wednesday’s episode, “is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration.”
