Senator Mitch McConnell Denies Serious Health Rumors, Says He Is Recovering

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has addressed his recent extended hospitalization, confirming that he has left the hospital and is currently recovering at a physical rehabilitation center. The 84-year-old senator was hospitalized after a fall last month during which he briefly lost consciousness. In a statement, McConnell revealed he also dealt with a mild case of pneumonia but denied rumors about his health condition. His announcement follows weeks of uncertainty and emergency reports suggesting he underwent resuscitation due to cardiac arrest. McConnell stated, "My doctors have confirmed I did not break any bones, did not suffer a concussion, and I have not had a heart attack or stroke, nor do I have tumors or bleeding." He did not provide a timeline for his return to Senate duties.
