## Resource

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, is recovering in a rehab center after a brief hospitalization following an unexplained loss of consciousness — no serious injuries or illnesses detected, though he did have mild pneumonia. Doctors are still investigating the cause, and while he’s not cleared to return to the Senate floor, he’s staying engaged with staff and colleagues while focusing on physical therapy to prevent future falls. His recent health struggles, including a 2023 concussion, underscore the ongoing challenges he’s managing while keeping his duties alive.
