Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, July 04, 2026

Sen. Mitch McConnell's aides have made a bombshell admission after weeks of dodging inquiries from the press about the 84-year-old's health. The senator's team had previously refused to answer questions about his condition. McConnell was found unconscious at home and received CPR before being taken to the hospital last month, as revealed in an EMS call. The call revealed that McConnell may have suffered a heart attack at his home on June 14, with his staff waiting until June 22 to give an update on his condition, saying only that he would not be voting that week. McConnell's office issued its first statement about his health since June 22 only after the Daily Beast asked a series of critical questions and published a story highlighting their refusal to disclose the senator's whereabouts. In the emailed statement on Thursday, McConnell's team revealed that the senator is still in the hospital, almost three weeks after the June 14 emergency call.
