Former leader of the Republican Senate Caucus, Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has been in the hospital for almost 50 days.
He was hospitalized in mid-June, and nobody knows his current condition. Why is it taking so long to get a clear, definitive answer.
“Proof of life photos” were released over the past few weeks that allegedly show McConnell with his wife in the hospital, but many suspect that these photos are misleading.
McConnell’s current condition is still seemingly unknown.
McConnell is 84 years old and has served in the U.S. Senate since 1985.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear demanded that McConnell either address the people of Kentucky directly or resign from the Senate.
Beshear even sent a letter to President Trump about the situation.
In response to Beshear’s request, McConnell’s autograph was used on the letter, further drawing in speculation that his condition is a “cover-up” to avoid a special election for his seat.
