Trump seems to question well-known part of Sen. Mitch McConnell's life — his childhood polio battle




President Donald Trump seemed to question a well-documented part of Sen. Mitch McConnell's life — his childhood battle with polio — after the Kentucky Republican opposed vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation Thursday as the nation's top health official. Trump attacked McConnell's mental acuity and said he had “no idea” if the senator had polio. The Oval Office barrage exposed the icy relationship between the Republican president and the former Senate GOP leader.
