And he's not the only one.
Headline: The Downballot, 7/8/2025
Larson, for his part, has been secure since notching his first victory in 1998, but he's faced unwanted questions about his health in recent months.
The congressman, who turns 77 this month, attracted widespread attention in February when, during a speech on the House floor, he suddenly stopped speaking mid-sentence. After several seconds of silence, Larson resumed talking at a noticeably slower pace and was unable to complete his address within the allotted time.
Larson responded with a statement saying he'd experienced a "complex partial seizure" that was linked to the "heart valve replacement" he'd had 15 years earlier. Larson said the surgery was done to correct a lifelong issue and explained, "Sometimes, people with this condition can later develop symptoms such as the momentary change in speech or movement that was apparent yesterday."
