Andy Beshear is demanding that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) provide evidence of his ability to continue serving in office, or resign immediately from his position.
Beshear wants that update to be different from the written updates previously produced by McConnell’s office.
Beshear called for McConnell “to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky,” and to show “proof” of his ability to serve.
Beshear’s letter came hours after an update from McConnell’s office indicated that his recovery will likely continue for an unspecified amount of time.
The question of McConnell’s health also comes as the Trump administration tries to defend a Medicaid rule change in federal court this week.
