Senator Mitch McConnell’s office released a statement on Thursday after it was revealed that the Kentucky lawmaker was found unconscious in his DC home last month.
The 84-year-old Senator is still hospitalized according to his spokesperson.
“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the statement said.
McConnell was rushed to the hospital a couple of weeks ago and was “receiving excellent care” his spokesman said.
It is still unclear why McConnell was admitted to the hospital.
However, he may have had a heart attack, according to the newly released audio of a 911 call.
