According to the audio, the first medic on the scene at the address began performing CPR, according to the dispatchers, and was then joined by an additional EMS team at the same address.

All of these staffers are so power hungry that they’ll prop up their Senator as a walking corpse to hang on to their power.

America’s deep state is showing real Soviet tendencies. Reminds me of Soviet Premiers of the 1970s and 1980s.

With Biden, his decline was covered-up for years, to allow the apparatchiks and secretaries below him to continue to use his power.

The same with Mitch McConnell. We might not know he’s dead until weeks afterwards.

IIRC, Kentucky replacement procedures involve Rs nominating 3 replacements and D-Gov. chooses one.

Am I remembering this properly ?

Senator Mitch McConnell has experienced at least seven documented falls and notable physical injuries, along with other severe health episodes, in recent years. His most significant reported injuries and health events include:2019: Fractured his shoulder after tripping and falling on the patio of his Louisville, Kentucky home. March 2023: Suffered a concussion and a cracked rib after tripping at a Washington D.C. hotel, requiring a nearly six-week absence.December 2024: Required medical attention for a sprained wrist and a small cut on his face after a fall following a Senate GOP lunch.February 2025: Fell down a set of stairs on Capitol Hill after a voting session.Other falls: Took an additional fall in 2024 that caused leg stiffness, and tripped while disembarking from a plane at Reagan National Airport.Health scares: Experienced multiple high-profile incidents where he briefly froze while speaking, which medical experts suggested could be seizures. He also experienced other hospitalizations, including a severe undisclosed medical episode. Mitch has had a rough few years.

I am sorry that he had a “cardiac incident” but its outrageous that a sickly, 84-year-old man is a Senator. Get the F out of the Senate. He is just existing in that seat.

“But if Mr. McConnell were unable to continue serving, Kentucky would hold a special election to fill the vacancy. Under House Bill 622, which became law in April 2024 after Republicans overrode Mr. Beshear’s veto, the governor’s only role would be signing a proclamation calling for the special election. The winner would serve out the remainder of Mr. McConnell’s term, which runs through January 2027.”

The amount of secrecy around this is very unusual.

As bad as he was/is, John Thune is worse.

The executive branch should also have a 25th amendment like power to remove dottering, incoherent legislators.

Thune knows, he has known the whole time but he has to cover it up because if McConnell gets replaced that person might want to pass the SAVE ACT, cant have that, cant give Trump that win..ya know its funny how the commie media works, you dont see Trump for ONE DAY, ONE DAMN DAY and the media goes with “Trump had a stroke he’s dead” yet you dont see McConnell in WEEKS and no one in the same media asks “Hey what happened to Mitch McConnell?”

I think he’s hanging on to put the screws to Trump... He’s no better than Diane Feinstein was. The ONLY decent thing that guy did was to hold off on the SCOUTUS.

Put him on Howie Carr’s list of those, who soon, won’t be coming down for breakfast.

“if Mr. McConnell were unable to continue serving”

I’m about 99% sure we’re already there....that would explain why his staff refuse to report on his status.

hell, the man may already be dead for all we know.

The fact that the American people are not being informed of what’s going on is a slap in the face to all of us, whether we live in Kentucky or not.

No different than Biden in those senior years.
