Many senators have reached out to McConnell but haven’t heard back yet. Most members don’t know the extent of McConnell’s injuries, including John Thune, the No. 2 Republican. “I have not talked to him directly.”
Update…
McConnell Will Be In Hospital for Several Days
After tripping last night, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is being treated for a concussion and is expected to remain in the hospital for “a few days of observation and treatment,” CNN reports.
