“I wish him no harm—I actually wish him good health,” Beshear said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “His boss are the people of Kentucky, and this is why the Senate—the Republican-controlled Senate—feels so broken. They feel like they’re not accountable to anyone.”
In addition to criticizing McConnell for not sharing additional details about the state of his health, Beshear went on to call out Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
Concerns and questions about McConnell’s heath have swirled since the 84-year-old Senator was hospitalized in June, following what his office later revealed was a fall. The Kentucky Senator shared earlier this month that he had been released from a rehabilitation center, but he has yet to return to the Senate or otherwise make a public appearance.
“Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate,” Beshear wrote in the letter. “As public officeholders, we have made a commitment to our constituents to do our best to represent them and to always be transparent. I believe this requires clear communication about one’s ability to serve.”
The updates McConnell has shared about his health so far
Four days after Beshear’s letter, McConnell offered his first public statement since his hospitalization began, saying that he went to the hospital after a fall. He said that his doctors confirmed that he didn’t sustain major injuries, such as broken bones, a concussion, or a stroke, but he was “briefly unconscious” after his fall. He also said he grappled with “a mild case of pneumonia” while he was hospitalized. He revealed that he had since “been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center.”
“Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls,” the office said. “His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility.”
“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business,” he said.
McConnell, who previously announced that he would retire in January when his term is set to end, has had health issues in the past, including several falls in recent years.
