The office of Sen. Mitch McConnell and the Senate’s attending physician released updates about the senator’s condition on Monday as wild speculation about his health continues online and in the media amid the Kentucky Republican’s secrecy about it all.
As President Donald Trump pressed Majority Leader John Thune to get his voter ID bill passed in the Senate, a press release from McConnell’s office included a photo of the 84-year-old senator smiling and his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, with him at his hospital bedside.
