Governor Andy Beshear suggested he'd received information that Senator Mitch McConnell may have passed away, sparking new public questions about the 84-year-old's prolonged absence from his duties. AOC and other lawmakers are calling for new rules about how long senators can remain away from office.
McConnell's silence is fueling speculation because there's no transparency. A governor hints at death; McConnell's office doesn't respond clearly; senators sit in an information vacuum. That vacuum gets filled with rumors. Whether McConnell is dealing with health issues, personal matters, or something else, the absence of a clear statement is itself becoming the story. If he's healthy enough to hold office, that's an easy statement to make.
