LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell was admitted to a hospital Sunday morning.
A spokesperson for McConnell said, "He is receiving excellent care."
It is unknown why he was hospitalized or what his current condition is.
Earlier this year, McConnell was hospitalized for eight days after experiencing "flu-like symptoms."
McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, announced last February he would not seek reelection this year and instead retire when his current term ends in January 2027.
The senator has dealt with a series of medical episodes in recent years, including injuries sustained from falls and times when his face briefly froze while he was speaking.
