Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear asks Sen. Mitch McConnell to give a public update on his condition
Beshear says Kentuckians are increasingly concerned as McConnell’s aides offer only limited updates on his condition after a June hospitalization.
- On Wednesday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear requested transparency regarding Senator Mitch McConnell's health, citing three weeks of silence since the 84-year-old was hospitalized in Washington.
- McConnell was hospitalized June 14, and aides have released no photos or videos of the senator since that time, leaving his actual condition unclear to the public.
- Beshear, a Democrat, wrote that Kentuckians are concerned about the senator's ability to hold office, though he concluded by wishing McConnell a safe and speedy recovery.
- Republican Senate leaders addressed mounting questions on Tuesday, stating they spoke with McConnell and confirmed he remains alert and engaged in discussions regarding current events.
- Kentucky law dictates a special election if the seat becomes vacant before Aug. 3, given McConnell is retiring in January; otherwise, the seat remains empty until the new Congress convenes.
