Republican senators unsure when McConnell will return after hospitalization

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Republicans are in the dark over Mitch McConnell’s health status or when he’ll be returning to the Senate, after their minority leader was hospitalized Wednesday evening for a fall.

“I don’t know much at this point, the best source of that is going to be his staff,” said Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), who said he hasn’t spoken to McConnell. “We have very limited information on it. I’m sure we’ll get more.”

The fall took place at the Waldorf Astoria hotel at a private dinner. The McConnell-aligned Super PAC Senate Leadership Fund also hosted an event in the building that evening, which several senators attended, including Thune and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“I trust him and his team and his doctors to tell us what’s going on,” Graham said. “Just hope he’s doing well.”

Alright which one pushed him, Lindsey or Thune?

1. If he was fine, we'd be hearing about it at the top of their lungs. n/t

2. I do not wish serious injury for McTurtle.

He would be a great loss to the Republican leadership. Mc's knowledge of how the Senate operates combined with ruthlessness has made him a formidable opponent. I hope he both recovers and retires.

3. Judging from some of the pics of McConnell with bruising, I'd suspect he's on a blood thinner

A fall in the setting of blood thinners often has bad complications, including head trauma. The fact that they've been so few reports as to his status makes me wonder if he might be in worse condition than they're letting on. We shall see.

4. Here's hoping

and praying both he and Senator Fetterman recover 100% and return soon. 🙂

7. You're a good egg

Thank you for your comment.

8. That was so

nice of you to say that. 😊 I have seen elderly people seriously hurt themselves in a fall and suffer much. I wouldn’t want that to happen to anyone.

9. Kindness grows rarer by the day

and after 30 minutes of reading the vitriol here, it was comforting to see your post.

10. Yes

that happens but I don’t think Dems should be heartless like many GOPers when someone is hurting. We can - and do - disagree with McConnell for many reasons but that’s ok. Being gleeful at his pain is not, in my view.

Have a great day❣️ 😊

12. You too!

Keep leading by example!

6. The senate could do a lot worse than turtle for the gqp leader. Not singing his praises but he's

Been a staunch supporter of aide to Ukraine and he hates tfg. It could be someone like dim wit mccarthy

11. I saw a clip of him yesterday

that basically said he agrees with the Chief of the Capitol Police on what really happened on Jan6.. IOW Not Tucker's edited version.

And yes, Braindead magas are gnawoing at his door.. like rick scott Florida.

15. Would really hate to see Scott get that post. Holding the senate in '24 is going to be a big lift

For the Dems. Hopefully, the turn out will again break dem records like it did in the midterms!

14. Hopefully he will be out of commission for a long time

maybe even retire.
