U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell was \u201cunconscious\u201d at his home in Washington, D.C., before he was taken to the hospital around two weeks ago, according to EMS radio traffic shared by media outlets this week.<\/p>\n

Punchbowl News reported that a dispatcher directed an Advanced Life Support ambulance to the Kentucky Republican\u2019s address at 8:36 a.m. June 14, according to an audio recording of the call posted by journalist Desir\u00e9e Townsend on X.<\/p>\n

The audio has not been independently verified, and McConnell\u2019s office did not respond to request for comment on the call at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

McConnell, 84, was hospitalized June 14, but his staff did not give details about his condition at the time, other than to say he was receiving \u201cexcellent care.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the Republican Party of Kentucky\u2019s Lincoln Day Dinner in Lexington on June 20, Rep. Andy Barr told reporters after the event that he\u2019d exchanged text messages with McConnell.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s good,\u201d Barr said.<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office has not confirmed whether he is still hospitalized.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His office hasn\u2019t provided any updates since June 22, when spokesperson Stephanie Penn said he would not vote in the Senate that week but was working \u201cclosely\u201d with staff as his health continues to recover.<\/p>\n

Since McConnell was admitted into the hospital, the public has received few details on his health condition.<\/p>\n

McConnell, who is not seeking reelection this year, has held his Senate seat since 1985 and is in his seventh term. From 2007 to 2025, he served as the leader of the Senate GOP. Barr and Democratic candidate Charles Booker are running in the November election to replace McConnell.<\/p>\n

McConnell has had several health scares in recent years, including freezes during public events. He also had three public falls in 2025, and he suffered a concussion in 2023 when he fell down steps in Washington D.C. In 2025, McConnell\u2019s team said he still deals with \u201clingering effects\u201d from surviving polio as a child.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The June hospitalization is McConnell\u2019s second this year. He was also admitted in February for \u201cflu-like symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n
