Concerning new details emerge about Mitch McConnell's latest health scare

A new report from Punchbowl News has revealed new details about the recent hospitalization of longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).Last month, news broke that McConnell was hospitalized on June 14. Spokesperson David Popp released a statement that day that said little more than that the senator had been "admitted to the hospital" and that he was "receiving excellent care."The dispatcher requests 'ALS' services, which Thompson said referred to 'Advanced Life Support.'No updates have been released in the weeks since. However, a Punchbowl News report released Wednesday revealed that McConnell was "unconscious" when first responders were sent to his home in Washington, D.C.The report cited an emergency dispatch recording shared on X by D.C. journalist Desirée Thompson. Thompson claimed the recording came from "Washington, D.C., Fire and EMS dispatch."On the recording, the dispatcher requests "ALS" services, which Thompson said referred to "Advanced Life Support." The dispatcher also notes that the emergency relates to someone who is "unconscious."Blaze News reached out to McConnell's office to confirm that the senator had been unconscious at the time and to learn the current status of his condition and whether he has been discharged from the hospital. The office did not respond.RELATED: Longtime GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell hospitalized Photo dated June 1, 2026, featuring Sens. Mitch McConnell and Jim Justice of West Virginia; Nathan Posner/Anadolu/Getty ImagesPunchbowl News reported that multiple senators, including Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), have claimed to have spoken with McConnell. Thune said the day after McConnell's hospitalization that McConnell remained "dialed in to what's going on" in the Senate.Thune's office did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News about whether he has been in touch with McConnell since that time.McConnell's health has been the subject of concern for years. The 84-year-old has apparently frozen up, tripped, fallen down stairs, and used a wheelchair on multiple occasions, including in early June. Back in February, he checked himself in to a hospital after experiencing "flu-like symptoms."About 10 days before his latest hospitalization, a noticeably frail-looking McConnell required assistance from two men as he made his way through the U.S. Capitol to vote on a reconciliation bill, a photo showed. His most recent message on X was posted on June 12.McConnell announced in early 2025 that he would not seek another term.Like Blaze News?

Strategist notes evidence Trump admin is in 'transition' amid presidential health issues

Trump has been elevating the role of Vice President JD Vance for a clear reason, according to a political strategist.During a recent podcast episode for The Contrarian, Simon Rosenberg pointed out that recent revelations about Trump's health and Vance's new responsibilities correlate to a plan to prepare the vice president for a transition."Let's just be clear that another example of them potentially preparing for a transition is how much they've elevated Vance in recent weeks," Rosenberg said. "Which is sort of giving him a tryout of the world stage as a symbol of the fact that we could be in the beginning, or they're trying to hedge."Vance was in Switzerland last week to negotiate with Iran on a peace deal. Co-host Katie Phang also pointed to recent reports that Trump had to see 22 specialists during his recent visit to Walter Reed Hospital and that Trump might be the recipient of retatrutide, a powerful weight-loss drug."The White House tried to make it seem like this is a routine thing for a man of his age," Phang said. "I'm sorry, my mom is 83. She doesn't see 22 specialists. Sorry doesn't happen."Phang equated the experimental weight loss drug that Trump may have received to "bariatric weight surgery," and added, "It's that drastic to be able to facilitate weight loss."Rosenberg suggested that if Trump was given access to the drug, it was because "there were very deep concerns about the condition of his heart, and his weight, and that he needed to lose weight rapidly in order to relieve the pressure on his heart, and that he was actually in danger."However, Phang warned, "I don't think a JD Vance has the charisma of a Trump or the cult appeal, but I do think JD Vance could be really bad as president of the United States."Trump's Troubling Health & Mamdani the Kingmaker? by The ContrarianKatie Phang and Simon Rosenberg discuss last night's primary results and the tea leaves around Trump's recent health reportsRead on Substack
