Senate Republicans and constituents across Kentucky are awaiting further updates after alarming details emerged about Senate Republican veteran Mitch McConnell and a medical emergency that reportedly left him unconscious inside his Washington, D.C., residence.
McConnell’s office moved quickly to reassure supporters on Thursday, issuing a statement that said the longtime lawmaker remains under medical supervision but is showing signs of improvement as he continues recovering in the hospital.
The development follows reports that emergency responders were dispatched to McConnell’s home last month after he was discovered unresponsive. Newly released audio from a 911 call has intensified questions surrounding the incident and the exact nature of the health scare that led to his hospitalization.
