Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, is continuing to improve during his hospital stay that began over two weeks ago, according to his spokesperson. The senator appreciates the outpouring of support he is receiving and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.
Little information has been released regarding McConnell’s condition. On June 14, EMS crews responded to his Washington D.C. home for reports of an unresponsive person. Paramedics administered CPR upon arrival.
Charles Booker, the Democratic nominee running for McConnell’s seat, has called on the senator to be more transparent about his health. Booker stated that it is clear McConnell has lacked the capacity to represent Kentucky in the Senate, and this fact, combined with the developing news, is deeply concerning.
