Q: Has Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear heard from Mitch McConnell?
A: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has not heard back directly from Senator Mitch McConnell or his office following multiple requests and an ultimatum regarding the senator's prolonged absence and health transparency.
Beshear stated that neither McConnell nor his office responded to his formal letters or public calls for communication.
After weeks of public silence and hospitalization, Beshear sent an ultimatum demanding that McConnell verbally and directly prove his capacity to serve the public or choose to resign.
Gov. Beshear also wrote to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, asking Senate leadership to investigate and push McConnell’s staff for transparency.

While that does sound like the kind of thing I would do, that wasn't me.
I asked Google: Today, August 3, 2026, has there been an official statement on Sen. Mitch McConnell's condition?
AI Overview Senator Mitch McConnell's office has not released a brand-new official statement today, August 3, 2026. However, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear publicly addressed internet speculation today regarding a false August 3 deadline to call a special election, while McConnell's latest official medical update from late July confirmed he remains in a rehabilitation facility. Recent Official Updates Medical Status: The last update from the Office of the Attending Physician on July 27, 2026, stated that McConnell is undergoing intense physical therapy following a June fall and mild pneumonia, but is not yet medically cleared to leave rehab or return to the office. Personal Statement: In his most recent personal remarks from that same July 27 update, the 84-year-old senator noted he is "still working hard to get back to my full schedule," though no specific return timeline has been provided. Current Political Context Governor's Statement: Governor Andy Beshear clarified via social media today that August 3 holds "no legal impact" or deadline regarding any potential Senate vacancy options. Continued Absence: McConnell missed the traditional Fancy Farm picnic in western Kentucky over the weekend and remains absent from the Capitol, having missed 38 roll-call votes since mid-June.
Though my screen reader is (thankfully!) working fine, the sound mysteriously went out on YouTube late last night and hasn't returned. This is particularly annoying since I rely on YouTube for both entertainment and news, spending or wasting (depending how you look at it) a lot of timed parked in front of it. But what beats me is how the speakers can be on and the screen reader working smoothly, and yet there is no sound anywhere on YouTube.
The only reason Moreno denounced him now is that Moreno was taking too much heat from his profane vicious attack on Dr. Fauci. Otherwise he would have continued his silence. Susan

For myself, I'm expecting a notice tomorrow that the Senator passed away peacefully in his sleep on the night of August Third to Fourth.
DeleteI'm tempted to send Jake Tapper a Ouija Board so he can continue his 20 minute conversations with Mitch. Susan. p.s. mystery comment wasn't me.

ReplyDeleteApparently, I had inadvertently muted the YouTube tab on my browser. Who knew? In any case, all is once more copesetic.
DeleteI hadn't heard about this story until Susan mentioned it. What to know about the recent abuse allegations impacting GOP Rep. Max Miller's reelection race.
ReplyDeleteThe story seems to be getting a lot of attention at the moment, including a video on The Bulwark.
When your monster of an ex-father-in-law denounces you, things must be pretty bad.
