“They caught up about the latest news impacting Senate races, the Graham Platner scandal, and the recent Supreme Court ruling on coordinated spending limits,” Noyes said.

“Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate,” Noyes added.

In addition to Thune and Barrasso, Scott Jennings, a longtime McConnell adviser who is now a CNN commentator, posted on social media Tuesday that he had also spoken with McConnell.

McConnell staffers did email news outlets to flag the calls with Thune, Barrasso, and Jennings and pointed reporters back to a Thursday statement that said McConnell “continues to improve and is working closely with his staff.”

Along with Thune and Barrasso, Scott Jennings, a former McConnell adviser now working as a CNN commentator, said on social media Tuesday that he also talked to McConnell.

However, not everyone is buying it.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee said on Tuesday that even members of Congress are in the dark about McConnell’s current condition.

Speculation has surrounded the health of the 84-year-old McConnell since the Kentucky senator was found unconscious and required CPR at his home in Washington, D.C., weeks ago.

McConnell’s staff has provided no significant update on his condition since he was hospitalized June 14.

On Monday night, MAGA social media user Mila Joy wondered why other senators haven’t spoken out about McConnell’s condition.

“Because they are ALL in on it together. That’s why,” Joy posted to her 571,000 X followers.

In reply, Sen. Lee posted: “Many of us aren’t speaking about Mitch McConnell’s condition because we know nothing about his condition.”

But Lee’s assessment contradicts earlier remarks from Senate Majority Leader John Thune after McConnell was first hospitalized.

Thune said he had spoken to the 84-year-old and that he “sounded good.”
