Summary
McConnell has been hospitalized since June 14, and his office said Thursday that the 84-year-old senator continues to improve and is working with staff on Kentucky and Senate matters.
Few details have been released about what caused the hospitalization or what treatment he is receiving, fueling speculation in Washington as aides declined further updates Monday.
Dispatcher recordings obtained by The New York Times show emergency responders reported performing CPR on an unconscious person in cardiac arrest at McConnell’s Washington address that morning, though the calls did not identify him.
The limited public information has left unanswered questions about the condition of the former Senate majority leader, a central Republican figure from Kentucky.
