Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is continuing his recovery in a hospital, with his office releasing few details about his condition during his weekslong hospitalization. Staff stated last week that the senator is "continuing his recovery" while the Senate is out of session. McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, with his office initially stating he was "receiving excellent care." A week later, a statement confirmed he would not be voting. On Thursday, a new statement indicated he "continues to improve" and "appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital." His office has not provided further updates, and a spokeswoman did not return a request for comment on Monday.
