Summary
Andy Beshear on July 11 publicly pressed Mitch McConnell to explain his condition, saying Kentuckians should be told "what's going on" as speculation grows.
McConnell, 84, has been hospitalized since June 14, and his office again said only that he "continues his recovery in the hospital" while working with staff during the Senate recess.
A 911 call from the morning of his hospitalization indicated McConnell was unconscious when emergency crews were dispatched and prompted a request for advanced life support.
Beshear said he had also sent a letter to McConnell's office, arguing voters deserve a direct health update as bipartisan concern mounts over the senator's ability to serve.
