McConnell Hospitalized But Still Engaged | Burlington News
Description
Senator Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized over three weeks after his initial admission, with details of his condition still under wraps. Despite this, his Senate colleagues are staying close — Majority Leader John Thune held a lengthy chat with him on national security, while No. 2 Republican John Barrasso spent 20 minutes discussing Senate races and the Supreme Court, noting McConnell sounded engaged and ready to return to work. First admitted June 14, McConnell’s office has repeatedly emphasized his improvement and continued involvement with staff. This isn’t his first health scare — he’s previously suffered concussions and wrist sprains from falls, and has openly discussed his childhood polio diagnosis that affects his mobility. Yet, he’s remained remarkably active in the Senate since 1984, even attending sessions in a wheelchair when needed.
