Mitch McConnell targeted with ‘missing person’ posters across DC
- Pranksters have posted “MISSING PERSON” flyers across Washington, D.C., seeking information about Senator Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized and out of public sight for over a month.
- The posters, describing McConnell as “84 years old. 5’9 feet. Turtle-like,” were put up by the anti-Trump political group Save America Movement, citing his absence from Senate duties.
- McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14 after a fall, later revealing he developed a mild case of pneumonia but did not suffer broken bones, a concussion, heart attack, stroke, tumors or hemorrhages.
- Despite recent updates, McConnell is still undergoing physical therapy and rehabilitation, leading to calls for more transparency or his resignation from Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and other lawmakers.
- If McConnell’s seat becomes vacant, Kentucky law requires a special election to fill it, rather than the governor appointing a temporary replacement, impacting the Republican Senate majority.
