The pressure on Mitch McConnell is reaching a new level as critics demand answers after the veteran Kentucky senator reportedly missed 40 consecutive days of Senate votes while remaining largely out of public view.
His prolonged absence has fuelled frustration among opponents and raised questions about whether a sitting senator can continue serving without regular communication with constituents. Calls for his resignation have grown louder, with some arguing that if he cannot provide a clear update about his condition, he should step aside.
