Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized after a June 14 medical episode at his Washington, D.C., home, his office said Thursday. Police scanner audio from that day recorded emergency responders being sent to the address for a “cardiac arrest” call and indicated CPR was being performed. McConnell’s office said the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican “continues to improve” but did not disclose his diagnosis or treatment. Charles Booker, a Democrat seeking McConnell’s Senate seat, called for fuller public disclosure of his condition.
