Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell

Since then, several people – including conservative CNN analyst and fellow Kentuckian Scott Jennings, a former Bush 43 staffer – said they had spoken with McConnell and that he was eager to return to his duties.

However, others who should know more about McConnell’s condition don’t. That includes the president of the United States.

Libby Dean, the White House correspondent for NewsNation, tweeted on Wednesday: “President Trump says he has ‘no idea’ how Sen. Mitch McConnell is doing and says he hasn’t spoken with the Kentucky Republican since McConnell’s hospitalization.”

In addition, the governor of Kentucky, Democrat Andy Beshear, is also in the dark about McConnell’s condition.

He sent a letter on Wednesday to the senator inquiring about his health status.

“As Governor, I request that you fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health,” Gov. Andy Beshear, who is seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender, wrote.

“As public officeholders, we have made a commitment to our constituents to do our best to represent them and to always be transparent,” Beshear’s letter continued.

“I believe this requires clear communication about one’s ability to serve,” he added.
