Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell to either prove that he is fit to continue serving after his lengthy hospital stay or resign from office. Beshear made the demand in a letter after McConnell’s office said the 84-year-old senator had not yet been medically cleared to leave the rehabilitation facility where he has been undergoing physical therapy.

McConnell’s Condition

McConnell was hospitalized June 14 and disclosed weeks later that it was the result of a fall. Beshear, who is widely viewed as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, first urged McConnell in early July to release more information about his condition after weeks of public silence.

“I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign,” Beshear wrote to McConnell. Beshear also sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, urging him to investigate McConnell’s condition if the senator does not demonstrate that he is capable of continuing to serve.
