Sen. Mitch McConnell was "unconscious" at his Washington home when he was rushed to the hospital more than two weeks ago, according to EMS radio traffic circulating online, Punchbowl News reported.

Just before 9 a.m. on June 14, a dispatcher sent an Advanced Life Support ambulance to the home of the former Senate GOP leader, according to the audio, which was posted by journalist Desiree Townsend. The account has not been independently confirmed, and McConnell's office has not addressed it.

Later that day, McConnell's spokesperson said the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was hospitalized and "receiving excellent care." A June 22 statement said he was "working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery," and a member of his team said June 30 that he was still recovering and working with staff.

His office has released no details on his condition or prognosis, and it is unclear whether he remains hospitalized. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he spoke with his predecessor, calling him still "dialed in" on Senate business. The chamber reconvenes July 13, by which point it will have been nearly a month since he was hospitalized.
