Kentucky Gov. Beshear Demands McConnell Prove He Can Still Serve — or Resign

Summary

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

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called on Sen. Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally” address Kentuckians and provide proof he can serve, or resign from the Senate. McConnell, 84, has been absent since he was hospitalized after being found unconscious at his Washington residence on June 14, and his office has said he remains in rehabilitation and is not medically cleared to leave. Beshear also said August 3 could affect whether Kentucky can hold a special election if the seat opens.
