In this episode of The Breakdown, we dive into the wild rumors surrounding the senior Senator’s health following his recent hospitalization. While reports swirl that McConnell is incapacitated, his closest allies—including conservative pundit Scott Jennings, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso—are working overtime to convince the public that he is fully functional and mentally sharp.
