Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) told the Chicago Sun Times that Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), "recovering from a stroke, has to show voters he is physically 'capable' to keep doing the job."
Said Walsh: "I think that myself and any Republican voter in this state has questions about Sen. Kirk's health, similar to if he were running a business and we'd want to know that he's in condition to run that business… I think it's up to him to provide whatever medical information he needs to provide to show that he's capable of doing this job, that's all."
Walsh also said he's mulling a Republican primary challenge of Kirk.
