@justinfreakin: Mitch McConnell Health Update? Mitch McConnell's staff just released a health update in a new statement amid the Republican Senator's six-week hospital stay. On Saturday, July 25, David Popp, a spokesperson for McConnell, shared a statement with The Washington Post. "The Senator continues to meet with staff regarding Senate and Kentucky business, including discussions on defense appropriations, foreign policy, the farm bill, constituent services and constituent federal grant requests," Popp explained. "As the Senator continues to improve in rehab, we will be sure to keep you updated." On June 14, the Senator from Kentucky, 84, was hospitalized. McConnell's team finally broke its silence one month later with a lengthy statement and a photo of the Senator in a hospital bed. "Last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital," McConnell noted. The politician explained that he suffered no broken bones and did not suffer a stroke, heart attack, concussion, or hemorrhage. However, he was "briefly unconscious," taken to a hospital, and developed a "mild case of pneumonia" during his stay. "I can assure you that I've been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I've submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident," McConnell detailed. "And I'm continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I've been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I'll keep regaining my strength." ##McConnell #NewsUpdate
