A Call to Arms

Mitch McConnell confidante Scott Jennings fielded questions Tuesday about why the ailing senator—whom he declined to call on air—hasn’t shown a “proof of life” video.

Jennings, 48, had written on X earlier Tuesday amid increased speculation about the Kentucky lawmaker’s health—and the scant details his office has provided—that he had talked with McConnell for about twenty minutes.

US Sen. Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for three weeks, and it’s still not clear why he was admitted or what his condition is. Aides for the Kentucky Republican have been fiercely protective of his condition – publicly and privately – during his hospitalization.

Despite requests for updates from CNN, his office has not disclosed a medical reason for the hospitalization or provided specifics on his health status beyond saying last week that he “continues to improve” and “is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters.”

Please, I know it sometimes happens, but if something is this important, take a few minutes and look it up.

If only more of us had just voted.
