Several media outlets, including the Daily Caller News Foundation, asked Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell\u2019s office for an interview after his office assured the public his recovery was going well and that he remained engaged in Senate business.<\/p>\n

The DCNF requested a video interview with McConnell as the public has yet to hear directly from the senator or been given new information about his health. A McConnell spokesperson said they would keep the interview request \u201con hand,\u201d along with those from several other outlets when contacted by the DCNF.<\/p>\n

\u201c[W]ill keep your interview request on hand with the many others. Appreciate your interest,\u201d the spokesperson said. (RELATED: We Asked Mitch McConnell\u2019s Staff About His Health. This Is What They Told Us)<\/strong><\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office suggested he was recovering well and staying engaged while in the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he\u2019s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,\u201d a spokesperson told the DCNF. \u201cThe Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear requested McConnell be transparent about his health in a Wednesday letter.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso and CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings claimed they spoke to McConnell privately for roughly 20 minutes. After releasing very similar statements, McConnell\u2019s staff included their responses in an email sent to reporters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McConnell was hospitalized on June 14 after being found unconscious inside his Washington, D.C., residence. Paramedics appeared to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for a \u201ccardiac arrest,\u201d a District Fire and EMS dispatch call showed.<\/p>\n

The former majority leader\u2019s staff told the DCNF that McConnell was \u201cworking closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters,\u201d though they ignored several requests for comment regarding his health. Neighbors of McConnell have reportedly not seen anyone at the home since McConnell\u2019s hospitalization, according to journalist Desiree Townsend.<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, traveled to China and said her husband\u2019s hospitalization did \u201cnot warrant an immediate return.\u201d His youngest daughter, Porter, deactivated her social media account while speculation arose about her father\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee said he knew \u201cnothing\u201d about McConnell\u2019s condition, suggesting that other senators also had no knowledge.<\/p>\n

McConnell spent several days in the intensive care unit (ICU) between Feb. 2 and Feb. 10 while suffering from flu-like symptoms. Staffers were frequently seen assisting McConnell while walking around Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

The former majority leader suffered several falls and experienced two on-camera freezing episodes in July 2023.<\/p>\n
