If Senator McConnell is unwilling to voluntarily show that he still has the capacity to serve, I will insist that you, as the Majority Leader of the Senate, fully investigate his condition, report to the American people, and begin the process if warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beshear sent a similar letter to McConnell and his team and noted in both that all the speculation about the senator\u2019s health and his letters would not have been necessary \u201cwith a minimal amount of transparency.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Thune has claimed to have spoken to McConnell but has not provided evidence to back up the calls he said they\u2019ve had. Senate Whip John Barrasso and political commentator and former McConnell aide Scott Jennings have also claimed that they spoke with the Kentucky Republican. <\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast asked Thune\u2019s office for comment on Beshear\u2019s letter.<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Beshear sent a letter to McConnell on July 8 demanding answers, but has received crickets from the senator and his staff.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4393\">Newsom Trolls Trump With His Own Words From 9 Years Ago<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead, McConnell\u2019s office has released just two images of the senator to the public since then, including one on July 12 and one on July 27. He is smiling at the camera in both with his wife by his side, with her hand on his arm. <\/p>\n<p>In an earlier statement on July 12, attributed to McConnell, he claimed he was recovering from a fall and was briefly unconscious but insisted that he had not had a heart attack or stroke. <\/p>\n<p>In Monday\u2019s statement, McConnell said, \u201cI\u2019m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors\u2019 orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But McConnell has not picked up the phone to call into any news outlets or released any videos since his hospitalization. The lack of evidence on his recovery and his staff\u2019s tight-lipped response have sparked intense speculation and demands for \u201cproof of life.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>McConnell has already missed 38 votes before Monday and is set to miss more this week as the Senate returns to Washington for two more weeks before heading out on August recess. <\/p>\n<p>Beshear has been facing intense pressure to take further action in response to McConnell\u2019s absence. <\/p>\n<p>Kentucky Republicans previously moved to strip Beshear\u2019s power to replace a senator should there be a vacancy in the Senate from the state. Instead, the 2024 law would require a special election to fill a vacant Senate seat, but the cutoff to call one is August 3. If the seat becomes vacant after that time, it would remain empty until January.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the Democratic governor said he is willing to launch a legal challenge to allow him to choose McConnell\u2019s replacement if the senator cannot return to office, but he has yet to pursue further action. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s term is up at the end of this year, and he is not running for re-election, so the November midterms will determine who will take the Kentucky seat come January.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4392\">Trump\u2019s Wild Ego Trip Leaves MS NOW Panel Floored<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Andy Beshear confronted Senate Majority Leader John Thune over Mitch McConnell\u2019s radio silence to his office.
