McConnell Hospitalised for Three Weeks, Aides Tight-Lipped

Senator Mitch McConnell, the former longtime Republican leader, has been hospitalized since June 14, with his office providing few details about his condition.

Senate GOP leaders said they had spoken with McConnell by phone, but questions are mounting about his health.

The 84-year-old senator's absence comes at a critical juncture for the party.

His office has declined to specify the nature of his illness or a timeline for his return.
