Questions Grow As McConnell Remains Hospitalized

Following the second incident, his office said he had been evaluated by medical professionals and attributed the episode to lightheadedness.

Additional falls and injuries throughout 2024, along with his increasing reliance on a wheelchair because of lingering effects from childhood polio, continued to raise questions about his health.

Earlier this year, McConnell was briefly hospitalized after developing what aides described as flu-like symptoms before returning to work.

His current hospitalization began on June 14.
