Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell

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.”

Now, the governor of the Bluegrass State has grown concerned enough that he has reached out to the senator to inquire about his health.

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

“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.

Several top Republicans were asked about McConnell’s condition on Tuesday, and their responses were not reassuring.
