it is the older video from over a year ago - closer to his fall where he hit his head.
More recent videos since the election...but he’s clearly very much slowed down than what he was even as little as 2 years ago.

Compare that to this from just two years ago:

If McConnell leaves early, the situation is bad.
Kentucky has a law that says the replacement a governor appoints to fill out a Senator’s term must be from the same party.
Kentucky’s governor vetoed that bill, and the veto was over-ridden on another vote.
He has said he will ignore that restraint and appoint whoever he wishes, regardless of party, and if this is objected to, it will go to court and be held up for years.
This mattered a great deal more when the Senate was Dem. With GOP control, an appointed Dem would be denied the seat.
But . . . it would nevertheless reduce the GOP seat advantage.
So he has left the Majority Leader position. He needs to hold that seat until election in 2026. And end of his term in Jan 2027.
Thank you. This guy needs to step down from the Senate not just leadership. And keep his mouth shut
