Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) criticized Senate Republicans over the prolonged absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), arguing that the senator owes his constituents a public explanation about his ability to continue serving. “I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell. And while I do hope that he is getting better, I’ve known him my entire life. I wish him no harm. I actually wish him good health. His boss are the people of Kentucky,” Beshear said on CBS News’s Face the Nation. McConnell, 84, was hospitalized June 14 after suffering a fall and has spent weeks recovering, including time in a rehabilitation facility. His office has provided limited updates on his condition, while McConnell has not made an appearance or directly addressed Kentuckians. He was discharged from rehab earlier this month and is continuing physical therapy at home.
