Mitch McConnell is 84 years old.
That makes him older than Israel, superglue, and the microwave oven.
Mitch McConnell, polio survivor, is older than the polio vaccine.
And we've known for some time that he's not in peak physical form.
It was back in 2023 when he took a nasty fall and was hospitalized with a fractured rib and a concussion.
And it was that same year when he froze twice in front of cameras while speaking to the press.
Once for like a solid 30 seconds.
The point is, despite years of health issues, the former Senate Majority Leader still managed to mystify the nation when he ghosted on Congress and his constituents for a month.
The Mitch McConnell mystery on Today Explained from Vox.
My name is Annie Greyer, and I'm a senior reporter at CNN.
When did you first hear that something was wrong with the former Senate Majority Leader?
So his team actually put out a statement the day that he was hospitalized on June 14th.
It was a very short statement, and all it said was, Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning.
He is receiving excellent care.
That short statement set off a firestorm of trying to figure out more because we learned so little from just that one sentence.
Yeah, why does this become a big mystery if they were transparent about it from the jump?
Because I think it's one thing to alert people that the senator's been hospitalized, but to go on for so long and not say why he was hospitalized initially or what is keeping him in the hospital just led us to continue to ask more questions because we were getting no answers.
And when you say so long, I mean, we're talking on the morning of Tuesday, July 14th.
And I think we got proof of life on Sunday, July 12th.
Was there almost no communication or was there actually no communication between that near month?
