Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday asked the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s, R-Ky., to provide an update on the senator’s health, escalating public pressure for more information as the 84-year-old remains hospitalized more than three weeks after being admitted.<\/p>\n

“Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell,” Beshear, a Democrat, said in a . “As Governor \u2014 and a fellow public official who understands the commitment we’ve made to the people we serve \u2014 I am requesting the Senator provide an update on his current health status.”<\/p>\n

Beshear said continued speculation “is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians,” adding that he hoped McConnell would share information “in a transparent manner, direct from the source.”<\/p>\n

McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The former longtime Senate majority leader declined to seek an eighth term following a series of health scares.<\/p>\n

McConnell was admitted to a hospital on June 14, according to his office, which has released few details about his condition or the circumstances surrounding his hospitalization. <\/p>\n

Asked by CNBC on Tuesday for the latest update, McConnell’s office pointed to a brief statement it issued last week saying the senator “appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”<\/p>\n

“The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
