Sen. Mitch McConnell, (R-Ky.) was admitted to the hospital Sunday morning, his spokesperson confirmed.
“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” spokesperson David Popp said, according to CNN.
The cause of McConnell’s hospitalization or his condition was not released.
This is the latest health issue the 84-year-old lawmaker has faced in recent years.
In March 2023, he suffered a concussion and broken ribs after a fall. Months later, he froze midsentence during a news conference.
CNN later reported he had two other falls earlier that year.
McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, was previously hospitalized for eight days earlier this year after experiencing “flu-like symptoms, per Fox News.
McConnell became a senator in 1985 and the body’s majority leader in 2015.
In that role, he helped shape President Donald Trump’s first term. He did this by helping to usher through hundreds of federal judges.
However, during Trump’s second term, McConnell, who is no longer in the Senate leadership position, has has been more critical of the president.
McConnell announced last February he would not seek reelection and would retire when his term ends in January 2027.
Only Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), 92, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), 84, are older than McConnell in Congress.
