Summary

Mitch McConnell, 84, hospitalized since June 14 after briefly losing consciousness, is recovering at a rehab center following a fall — doctors ruled out major issues like stroke or heart attack, but he’s battling mild pneumonia and undergoing physical therapy to prevent future falls. Though cleared to work remotely, he’s not yet cleared for Senate floor votes. This latest health scare adds to a pattern of recent medical incidents, including a 2023 concussion and flu-like symptoms in February — all while the senator, who survived polio as a child, remains focused on regaining full strength.
