Senator Found Unconscious, CPR Administered Amidst Political Scrutiny
Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 84, was found unconscious at his Washington, D.C., residence last month, with emergency personnel administering CPR due to apparent cardiac arrest. While the full details of the incident remain private, a spokesperson confirmed McConnell is continuing to work on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he recovers, though he would not be voting that week. This medical emergency follows a series of public health scares for the senator, who has had previous falls and hospitalizations during his tenure. McConnell is scheduled to retire at the end of his current term in January.
