Ailing Mitch McConnell, 83, Hospitalized

Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized after experiencing what his office described as “flu-like symptoms.”

The 83-year-old Kentucky senator checked himself into a hospital on Monday evening “in an abundance of caution,” his office told the Daily Beast in a statement.

“His prognosis is positive and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving,” his spokesman, David Popp, added. “He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”
