AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Emergency dispatch audio indicating that someone at Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) home in Washington, D.C., suffered "cardiac arrest" earlier this month has raised questions about when the former GOP leader will return to the Senate or whether he will return at all.
McConnell's office has provided few details about his health status but reported a few days ago that he "appreciates the outpouring of support he's receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital."
