This Chamber Has Gone

Subject casts his final Senate vote to date. Nobody knows it yet, but this is the last time the voting board will feel his presence.

Subject found unconscious at his Washington home and hospitalized. An EMS dispatch call later made public indicates a suspected heart attack. Eyewitness video shows him being loaded into an ambulance.

This remains the most recent time a member of the public has laid eyes on the senator. The tracker above starts here.

A member of his team says via email that the senator is "recovering" and "working closely with staff."

Working closely with staff is also what my out-of-office reply says.

Commentator and former adviser Scott Jennings reports a phone call of "just shy of 20 minutes" covering Iran, Ukraine, Maine, a presidential library visit, and Senate history.

Suspiciously specific runtime. Also a suspiciously well-organized agenda for a hospital call.

Senators Thune and Barrasso say they've recently spoken with the subject and describe him as alert.

Number of these calls conducted on speakerphone in front of a reporter: zero.

Office declines to confirm details of his condition. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sends a formal letter asking the senator's team to "fully update Kentuckians."

When the governor has to send a letter asking if a senator is okay, the tracker stays up.

Asked aboard Air Force One how McConnell is doing, the President responds: "I have no idea how he's doing."

Finally, a statement we can independently verify.
