U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell remains in hospital nearly four weeks after he was admitted on June 14, according to multiple outlets. Reports say few medical details have been provided by his aides and spokespersons, prompting questions about transparency and speculation about his health and timing for a return to work. CBS News and other coverage cite a spokesperson saying McConnell continues to improve. ABC News similarly reports staff characterize the senator as “continuing his recovery,” while noting that the Senate is out of session. NPR and Al Jazeera describe the prolonged hospitalization as raising broader concerns about how much information is shared when lawmakers are absent for extended periods. Oregonian coverage notes that McConnell has released his first statement since being hospitalized. Other reports also say McConnell has communicated with political allies, including discussions with Republican leaders and phone calls described by an adviser. In January, McConnell announced he would not seek an eighth term following earlier health scares.
