Fetterman says Beshear trying to put his ‘name in the news’ with McConnell health scrutiny
Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) prolonged absence from the Senate on Thursday, claiming that the people who are scrutinizing his health “want to put their name in the news.”The remark amounts to an apparent dig at Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY), a possible 2028 Democratic presidential candidate. This week, Beshear called on McConnell to provide “proof” of his fitness for office or resign.
