A newly surfaced video is raising fresh questions about the health of longtime Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell after the veteran Republican lawmaker was reportedly rushed to a hospital following a medical emergency at his Washington, D.C., residence last month.
The footage, released Friday, appears to show emergency responders transporting McConnell on a stretcher and loading him into an ambulance outside his Capitol Hill home. The video was reportedly recorded by a nearby resident and provides the first visual glimpse of the emergency response that has fueled speculation in political circles for weeks.
McConnell, who is 84 years old and served for years as the top Republican in the Senate, has largely remained out of public view since the incident. The lack of detailed information surrounding his condition has only intensified interest among lawmakers, media outlets, and constituents seeking answers about the senator’s health and ability to continue serving.
