The senior senator from Kentucky is Mitch McConnell, 84, who has not been seen since a medical emergency in his home on June 14. Confronted in the halls of the Capitol about McConnell by reporter Nicholas Ballasy, Paul stayed silent, refusing to reply to questions about his senior senator. He called on Paul, as the other senator for the state, to get some answers. “Rand Paul is another Republican U.S. senator from Kentucky in D.C. right now,” Beshear said. “He hauled in an 85-year-old Anthony Fauci, saying, ‘You must answer to the people of America,’ and he won’t do the same for Mitch McConnell.”
