Regarding his health
editFound this on NYT regarding the two episodes where he froze up, but this is really just hearsay because no official diagnosis was made: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/01/health/mitch-mcconnell-health-seizures.html Unknown0124 (talk) 00:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
McConnell fell again and got hurt. Fall occurred at a Republican luncheon. Medical personnel seen at his office, but again the old falling man persists. “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," Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-mitch-mcconnell-fine-medical-personnel-spotted-office-colleague-sa-rcna183657 [Fall on December 10, 2024] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.182.190.239 (talk) 12:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done: Please let us know if you find one that can be used. It must be public domain or under a free license. From his website, it seems the official portrait in the article is the most recent. RudolfRed (talk) 01:28, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Two terms as Jefferson County Judge/Executive
editSuggestion (not an edit request as such). I realize we have WP:WEIGHT, but one paragraph seems light when there were two terms in office in a top-50 city with a major newspaper -- this surely would give us some material for modest expansion there. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 07:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Tenure as Senate Minority Leader & Republican Leader
editI think a few are jumping the gun. McConnell is staying on as Senate Minority Leader & Senate Republican Leader, until at least January 2025. GoodDay (talk) 22:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Electoral History
editThe electoral numbers in the Electoral History section are inconsistent. Two totals are shown under the heading "Votes for McConnell, but only two candidates are shown, neither being McConnell. All the vote totals in this chart need to be reviewed. Roark183 (talk) 20:45, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
