Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he's 'heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell'

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has stated that he has received no response from Senator Mitch McConnell regarding his health, despite formally requesting updates. McConnell, 84, was hospitalized for several weeks after a fall and has since been recovering at home. Beshear, a Democrat, wrote to McConnell in July expressing concern about his health and ability to hold office, and requested that he provide a full update on his condition.

Beshear made the comments in an interview with CBS News' Face the Nation, stating that he has "heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell". He expressed his well-wishes for McConnell's health, saying "I wish him no harm. I actually wish him good health." According to CBS News, Beshear's letter to McConnell was sent on July 8, and he also made a follow-up request for McConnell to address his constituents directly.

McConnell's office has shared limited information about his condition, with his first statement since hospitalization released days after Beshear's letter. He has since been discharged from rehabilitation and is continuing his recovery at home, though no date has been given for his return to Capitol Hill.
