Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, is expected to return to Washington, D.C., Tuesday as the Senate reconvenes after a 40-day recess hiatus. McConnell's health is under increasing scrutiny following his second public freeze-up in recent weeks during a press conference in where he didn't respond for 30 seconds. The episode mirrored the senator's first freezing event that occurred at a July press conference in the Capitol. It also comes just months after McConnell suffered a concussion and broken rib when he tripped and hit his head at the D.C. Waldorf Astoria and was admitted to hospital for treatment.
