Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized again … and his team is keeping the details close to the vest.
The former Senate Majority Leader’s spokesperson, David Popp, released a brief statement Sunday … announcing McConnell was taken to the hospital this morning.
Popp says the senator is receiving “excellent care.” He did not disclose any details on McConnell’s medical issue.
The 84-year-old McConnell has dealt with a series of health problems over the years … including just a few months ago when he landed in a hospital bed due to flu-like symptoms.

McConnell also suffered a concussion and broken ribs in a 2023 fall … and infamously froze for nearly a minute while speaking to reporters months later.
In October 2025, he fell hard in a U.S. Capitol Building hallway while being peppered with questions about ICE … but aides helped him up and he appeared uninjured.
McConnell — who has served as one of Kentucky’s two senators since 1985 — announced earlier this year he won’t seek reelection. His terms ends January 3, 2027.
