Senator Mitch McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14 after paramedics responded to his home. He has reportedly remained hospitalized since that date.
The office of the 84-year-old Kentucky senator has revealed few details about the hospitalization. These unspecified health issues follow several hospitalizations in recent years as the former longtime Senate leader serves out his final term, having declined to seek an eighth term following a series of health scares.
Despite his condition, Senate Republicans say McConnell remains dialed into happenings in Congress, although he has not voted in nearly a month. Representatives for Senators John Thune and John Barrasso stated that both Republicans spoke with the hospitalized senator by phone this week.
