Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was admitted to a hospital on Monday night due to flu-like symptoms, with his spokesman reporting a positive prognosis. The 83-year-old senator, who has faced multiple health challenges in recent years, has not participated in voting this week but was active on the Senate floor last Friday. McConnell, a polio survivor, announced he would not seek reelection in 2026 after over 40 years in the Senate. He remains in contact with staff and looks forward to resuming Senate duties.
