A spokesman for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Kentucky republican was admitted to a hospital on Sunday. The 84-year old Kentucky senator's condition is currently unknown but he has suffered regular health challenges in recent years. McConnell spokesman David Popp said McConnell "is receiving excellent care" in an e-mailed statement but did not specify the reason for the hospitalization. In February of this year, the former majority leader was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms. He announced last year that he would not run for reelection in 2026 after more than 40 years in the Senate.
