A contractor leaving Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s D.C. home said he was measuring for new flooring in the home. Another man exiting the home says he isn’t sure if Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife, is in D.C.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., says some votes will likely have to be delayed due to the GOP’s thinner majority with Sen. Mitch McConnell’s ongoing absence from the Senate (Example: 3 no votes from GOP senators would sink Todd Blanche’s confirmation as AG)

Day 52 of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization. I think it’s safe to say he’s not coming back this week, possibly not ever. As of last night, Kentuckians have now missed 47 Senate roll call votes due to his absence.

This is completely my personal opinion, but the overwhelming bipartisan support for moving the Continuing Resolution forward, after nearly a year of fighting over CRs, suggests to me that both Republicans and Democrats were concerned about the possibility of a government shutdown amid Senator Mitch McConnell’s absence. Whether either party ever admits it is beside the point. I simply want to thank both Senate Republicans and Democrats for working together to help prevent an October government shutdown that could have harmed our national security. I also hope Congress eventually investigates how Senator McConnell’s office was run during his prolonged absence.

Ok, Andy Beshear, enough is enough. I’m tired of coming to this hospital. I have given you enough information to raise legitimate questions about Senator Mitch McConnell’s status. For God’s sake, please call a special election so Democrats and Republicans can put forward candidates and ensure Kentuckians have representation for the remainder of Senator McConnell’s term. And to Senator McConnell’s U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell handlers: I double-dog dare you to try to stop us with an injunction.

This is the unidentified staffer from Senator Mitch McConnell’s office who was frequently seen wheeling the Senator to the Senate floor for votes. During some past roll call votes in which the Senator was present, the votes themselves occurred off camera. If an elderly senator were ever mentally incapacitated or otherwise unable to make an independent voting decision, my concern is that a staffer could potentially influence or instruct that senator on how to vote. That possibility raises important questions about transparency and safeguards surrounding the voting process.
