Summary
McConnell was admitted to a hospital Sunday morning after neighbors told Reuters they saw him loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance outside his Washington home around 9 a.m. ET.
Spokesman David Popp gave no reason for the hospitalization and no update on the Kentucky Republican's condition, saying only that he is "receiving excellent care."
The 84-year-old former Senate Republican leader announced last year he will retire when his current term ends in early 2027.
The hospitalization adds to a string of recent health issues, including an eight-day hospital stay in February for flu-like symptoms and public freezing episodes in 2023.
