Summary
June 14 emergency responders found Mitch McConnell unconscious at his Washington home and performed CPR for a cardiac arrest before taking him to a local hospital.
More than two weeks later, the 84-year-old senator is still hospitalized, though a spokesperson said he continues to improve and is working with staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.
McConnell's office has not addressed the emergency dispatch recording, and his longer-term prognosis remains unclear despite updates that he has been receiving excellent care.
The hospitalization is McConnell's second this year and follows several recent health episodes; he is set to leave Congress in January after 42 years in the Senate.
