Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked this week for the GOP floor leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, to step down from his top post amid health concerns.
“If you’re concerned about the president’s ability to do his job — and I am, and a lot of Republicans say they are — you have to be concerned when it’s someone from your own party,” Hawley told reporters.
Hawley was one of several Senate Republicans who did not vote for McConnell to lead for another term in 2022.
“Do I think McConnell should be leader? No. If you’re concerned about [President Joe] Biden’s ability to do his job, then you’ve got to be concerned when it’s somebody of your own party,” Hawley said.
From Newsmax:
Concerns surrounding McConnell's health have grown after reports that he's fallen multiple times over the past year, including one fall that led to a concussion, and two scary freeze-up moments during press conferences.
