Senator Mitch McConnell Remains Hospitalized as Senate Adjourns
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, continues his recovery in a hospital, with his office providing no further health details or confirmation of his presence at the Capitol when the Senate reconvenes.
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, the former Republican Senate leader, is still hospitalized as the Senate remains out of session. His office confirmed he was admitted on June 14 and is receiving care, but has not offered additional information about his condition or his ability to attend the upcoming Senate session.
A statement issued last week said McConnell "continues to improve" and thanked supporters for their messages while he remains in the hospital. The office has not released further updates, and a spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
McConnell, 84, has experienced several health incidents in recent years, including a concussion in March 2023, a wrist sprain in 2024, and earlier falls that required surgery. He previously served as the longest-standing Senate leader before stepping down from that role and is now completing his final term, which ends in January.
Despite his health challenges, McConnell has continued to attend Senate business when in session, often using a wheelchair for mobility.
