Concern Grows Surrounding McConnell’s Health After Death of Graham

With the sudden death of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, new questions are arising about the current condition of former GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, as Republican control of the chamber is suddenly at risk.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, intensified his calls on Saturday for McConnell to disclose the undisclosed medical condition that has kept the longtime Republican lawmaker hospitalized, as questions continue to grow about the 84-year-old senator’s ability to serve.

“I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health,” Beshear wrote on X.
