## Resource

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, is recovering in the hospital after being admitted on June 14 following a cardiac arrest at his D.C. home — first responders performed CPR before transport. His team reports he’s improving and has been working remotely on Kentucky and Senate matters, despite the Senate being out of session. The last update was June 22, when he skipped voting but remained engaged. With no reelection bid this year, the focus now turns to the November race to fill his seat, where Republican Daniel Cameron and Democrat Charles Booker are competing — Cameron already sent a supportive message wishing McConnell a speedy recovery.
