Mitch McConnell addresses hospitalization following fall

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spoke publicly about his recent hospitalization on Sunday, which occurred after a fall approximately four weeks prior. In his statement, McConnell confirmed that he did not break any bones, suffer a concussion, or experience a heart attack or stroke. He stated, "I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I've also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia." McConnell also mentioned that his decision to retire at the end of his term in January was influenced by the demands of Senate work, but he intends to complete his responsibilities. This marks McConnell's first public explanation regarding his health following weeks of speculation.
