Prescription Drug Prices Fall Most In 60 Years: White House

Earlier this year, McConnell was briefly hospitalized after developing what aides described as flu like symptoms before returning to work

His current hospitalization began on June 14.

Subsequent media reports, citing emergency-dispatch audio, indicated first responders were called to McConnell’s residence for an unconscious person, although his office has not confirmed those reports or disclosed a diagnosis.

The limited information has prompted calls from elected officials for greater transparency

In a July 8 letter to McConnell’s Washington office, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Kentuckians had “grown increasingly concerned” about the senator’s well-being and ability to continue serving.

“Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians,” Beshear said, urging McConnell to provide information directly to the public.

Marlin Stutzman echoed those concerns during an interview Thursday with NewsNation

Marlin Stutzman echoed those concerns during an interview Thursday with NewsNation.

“I have not heard from him, and I think it’s a question that Republicans should be asking because he does represent the state of Kentucky,” Stutzman said.

He added that McConnell’s constituents deserve additional information about the senator’s condition, Newsweek reported.
