Summary
June 14 video and a neighbor’s account newly show emergency responders wheeling Mitch McConnell from his Washington home on a stretcher into an ambulance about 30 minutes after crews arrived.
EMS audio published earlier indicated responders were dispatched for an “unconscious” person, citing “cardiac arrest” and “CPR in progress,” though the footage does not confirm what happened medically.
McConnell’s team has still not disclosed what sent him to the hospital or detailed his condition; a spokesperson declined comment, extending weeks of uncertainty around the episode.
Recent calls with Republicans including John Thune and CNN commentator Scott Jennings suggest McConnell has been speaking by phone, with Jennings saying this week that his voice sounded strong.
