Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell

Questions about McConnell’s health intensified during CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, where Democratic strategist Mike Nellis said Republicans should be more transparent about the longtime senator’s condition following weeks of hospitalization.

Nellis dismissed assurances from Republican allies that McConnell remains engaged.

“If Scott Jennings and Thune and everybody else could have a 20-minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60-second proof-of-life video to show us that he’s okay,” Nellis said.
