Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview
Beshear said two outside agencies suggested McConnell had died, renewing calls for more timely health updates after nearly a month of limited information.
- In a July 15 interview with journalist Katie Couric, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear revealed he received two calls from different agencies suggesting U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell had died prior to the senator's July 12 health update.
- McConnell was hospitalized June 14 after falling at home and sustaining minor injuries, but his office released no official information for nearly a month, creating a vacuum where speculation flourished.
- Representative Thomas Massie and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined Beshear in demanding transparency, with the governor urging the senator to "call into a news station" to reassure Kentucky constituents.
- Following the senator's update confirming he was treated for pneumonia, Beshear called the statement "a step in the right direction" but argued constituents still deserve further detail.
- Beshear signaled he is reviewing options regarding a potential vacancy in the Senate seat before the term ends in early 2027, citing state constitutional provisions and GOP-backed laws governing Senate vacancies.
