Mitch McConnell’s office confirmed his health status following his hospital admission on June 14. Earlier, an EMS call surfaced, revealing that a person was found “unconscious” in McConnell’s residence after an alleged heart attack. A spokesperson revealed that the senator has been under “excellent care” but refused to provide any update on his diagnosis and condition.
The Kentucky senator remains hospitalized after a June 14 admission
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Mitch McConnell confirmed that he’s still hospitalized. They said, “McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”
This health update comes after several outlets reported that emergency dispatch recordings revealed an “unconscious” person was found at McConnell’s home in Washington, DC. Before 9 am, an Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance was sent to his residence. Through recordings, it was known that the responders performed CPR on a person experiencing cardiac arrest.
At the time, it was reported that he was admitted to the hospital, but no clear update was provided on his health status. Rather, a spokesperson, Stephanie Penn, stated in the email that the Kentucky senator is “working closely” with staff on Senate business and state matters as he continues to recover. She also revealed that he won’t be voting that week.
This is the second time a health scare has surfaced for McConnell this year. In February 2026, he was admitted to the hospital after experiencing “flu-like symptoms.” He was in the hospital for more than a week, but his diagnosis was still kept under wraps. After he was quietly discharged, a spokesperson revealed how he was doing. They said, “He is feeling better and will be working from home this week on the advice of doctors.”
McConnell has been the US senator from Kentucky since 1985. He is by far the longest-serving senator.
