Mitch McConnell’s aides have provided an “update” about his health that includes no photo or video evidence of the Republican senator himself.
David Popp, a McConnell spokesman, claimed in a new statement to https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/07/25/mcconnell-faces-growing-questions-about-absence-nearly-six-weeks-after-fall/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/07/25/mcconnell-faces-growing-questions-about-absence-nearly-six-weeks-after-fall/">The Washington Post that McConnell is continuing to work on Senate business during his weeks-long hospitalization that dates back to June 14.
“The Senator continues to meet with staff regarding Senate and Kentucky business, including discussions on defense appropriations, foreign policy, the farm bill, constituent services and constituent federal grant requests,” Popp claimed. “As the Senator continues to improve in rehab, we will be sure to keep you updated.”
