On the 26th local time, during his weekly press conference, 81 year old McConnell suddenly stopped talking and looked ahead with a dull gaze. Due to his trembling body, he tightly grasped both sides of the podium, and the entire process lasted for more than 30 seconds.

According to reports, people around McConnell quickly approached him to inquire if he was well, and the press conference was taken over by Senate Minority Whip Tun.

According to reports, in March, McConnell fell during an event with Republican donors and was diagnosed with a "concussion" after being sent to the hospital. He was not discharged until 5 days later. After returning to work in April, he continued to work as usual, but occasionally he couldn't hear the reporter's questions clearly. In addition, he has also experienced other wrestling accidents and health problems, and his legs and feet are not very convenient due to childhood polio.

McConnell has publicly discussed his experience with polio and publicly stated in 2018 that due to his painful personal experience, he hopes to eradicate the disease worldwide. McConnell also documented his struggle against illness and efforts to recover in his 2016 memoir "The Long Game".

The US political community has expressed concern for McConnell's physical condition. "I have always hoped that McConnell will be fine," said Schumer, the majority leader of the United States Senate. Iowa Senator Johnny Ernst stood next to McConnell at the time of the incident and told the media, "I'm just a little worried, I hope everyone is safe."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
