Mitch McConnell Sparks New Mystery With No-Show at Event

Mitch McConnell was mysteriously absent from an event where he was set to be honored as a featured guest.

The senior Kentucky senator, 84, was scheduled to attend a congressional reception on Wednesday for the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, one of Kentucky’s largest business advocacy groups, where he was to be honored as a “featured guest,” according to a schedule of events the Daily Beast obtained.

But McConnell, now in his second week back at work after a 92-day absence, was a no-show. A source tells the Daily Beast that McConnell’s chief of staff, Terry Carmack, who is set to make $226,000 this year, attended in the senator’s place.
