As rumors swirl over the weeks-long hospitalization of Sen. Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) has requested an official update on his well-being.<\/p>

\u201cAllowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source,\u201d Beshear said Wednesday in a letter to McDonnell (R-Kentucky) that he shared online.<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office hasn\u2019t disclosed what sent the 84-year-old to the hospital June 14<\/a>, nor when he might return. Conservative influencers have posted theories that he was in a coma, incapacitated or even dead.<\/p>\n

Several of McConnell\u2019s Republican colleagues and allies said Tuesday that they have spoken to him by phone<\/a>. But others haven\u2019t been satisfied by the accounts, and the calls have become a source of online trolling.<\/p>
