WASHINGTON — Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is 'fine' after medical personnel made a visit to his office, his deputy, Sen. John Thune, told reporters Tuesday. Medical personnel were seen exiting McConnell's office just after 2 p.m. Tuesday following Senate Republicans' weekly lunch. An ambulance was spotted on Capitol grounds not far from the Senate doors at that time, but it left shortly after. 'He is fine. He's in his office,' Thune, R-S.D.
, is 82 years old and has had health issues in recent years. He is stepping down as minority leader after this year but will continue to serve in the Senate next term when Thune takes over the GOP conference. McConnell's office did not immediately provide details of what happened. McConnell last year pledged to serve out the remaining two years of his six-year Senate term, which ends in Jan. 2027, without making an announcement beyond that.
