Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell

Thune said he had spoken to the 84-year-old and that he “sounded good.”

“He wants to be back, but I’ll defer to his staff on when,” Thune said on June 15.

Popular conservative activist Laura Loomer claimed recently that sources told her that McConnell is in a “vegetative state,” dismissing Thune’s version of events.

“I was in South Dakota all week, and a Thune staffer told a source close to me and the White House that Mitch McConnell is in extreme organ failure,” Loomer posted.
