“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
McConnell, 84, was found “unconscious” at his DC residence on June 14 and may have suffered a heart attack, according to a District Fire and EMS dispatch call.
The call referenced medical personnel in an ALS, or Advanced Life Support, ambulance being sent to the home shortly before 9 a.m. and mentioned there was “CPR in progress” for a “cardiac arrest.”
McConnell’s office has not commented on the nature of the senator’s medical emergency.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has said he has spoken to McConnell since his hospitalization and that the senator was “dialed in” on their conference’s legislative business.
The Senate is in recess until July 13.
The seven-term senator has suffered multiple falls that left him with a concussion and cracked rib in recent years, in addition to public freeze-ups due to apparent light-headedness.
McConnell was previously hospitalized in February with flu-like symptoms.
He has often been seen in a wheelchair in recent months, as he serves out the remainder of his time in the Senate.
McConnell, who served as the leader of the Senate GOP from 2007 until January 2025, announced in February 2025 that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election.
