Here's what we know about Sen. Mitch McConnell's health

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Mitch McConnell has spent three weeks in the hospital, and his office still will not say what sent the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican there, his latest condition or when he might return.

McConnell, who has served in the Senate since 1985 and led Senate Republicans from 2007 until 2025, has not cast a vote since June 11. His absence comes as Republicans are navigating a narrow Senate majority. It has helped stall spending bills in the Appropriations Committee and added uncertainty around a senator already in the final months of his career.

Here’s what we know about his health.

What happened to McConnell?

McConnell was admitted to the hospital on the morning of June 14, according to a statement from his office that said that he was “receiving excellent care.”

1. I predict that when it is too late to hold a special election in Kentucky...

We will know more.

4. His wife, likely the only one who can pull the plug, left for china 3 days after he was admitted...

The deadline is 8/3 for the special election.

She’ll be back home the 4th to do the deed.

Kalshi it.

2. Best Guess: He's brain dead and on life support... a breathing machine and feeding tube.

to his home.

5. Excellent care? Sure, I'm not going to denegrate George Washington University Hospital or

Georgetown University Hospital--the two most likely to be seeing him, albeit no hospital has been identified.

But, that said, HIPAA has become quite the excuse in these situations that far exceeds the intent, I would argue.
