Mitch McConnell

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell was admitted to the hospital Sunday morning, according to McConnell's spokesperson.

“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” spokesperson David Popp said.

The statement did not address the cause of McConnell's hospitalization or condition.

However, McConnell, 84, had faced a series of health issues in recent years. In March 2023, he suffered a concussion and broken ribs after a fall. Months later, he froze midsentence during a news conference. It was also later reported that he had suffered two other falls earlier that year.
