Mitch McConnell Hospitalized Sunday Morning

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was admitted to a hospital on Sunday morning, June 14, 2026, his office said.

Spokesperson David Popp said McConnell is receiving excellent care, according to AP News. The statement did not specify which hospital he was at, what condition led to the admission, or how long he might stay. CBS News and Reuters reported the same details.

McConnell, 84, has faced several health issues in recent years. He fell at a Washington hotel in 2023 and suffered a concussion and broken ribs. Later that year, he experienced moments on camera where he appeared to freeze and lose his train of thought — incidents that prompted questions about whether he was fit to continue in office. In February 2024, he announced he would step down as Senate Republican leader at the end of that congressional session, ending the longest stretch anyone has served as a Senate party leader. He kept his Senate seat.

The senator's office has not said whether the hospitalization will affect his work in the Senate or any planned appearances. No timeline has been given for when more information might be released.
