华盛顿 — 肯塔基州共和党议员的发言人周二表示，参议员米奇·麦康奈尔于周一晚间因”出现流感样症状”自行入院接受治疗。
发言人大卫·波普称，此次住院是出于”谨慎考虑”，并且麦康奈尔的”预后情况良好”。
“他对所接受的优质医疗服务表示感激，”波普说，”他与工作人员保持定期联系，并期待重返参议院工作。”
这位83岁的参议员本周尚未参与投票，但周五曾投票支持通过一项大规模政府剩余资金拨款法案。
在周五的参议院会议期间，麦康奈尔在参议院发表了几分钟关于全年国防拨款法案的讲话。
麦康奈尔童年曾患小儿麻痹症，近年来多次出现健康警报。2023年，他因跌倒导致脑震荡住院，之后在两个不同场合似乎出现短暂冻结症状。2024年他再次跌倒，造成轻微受伤。
去年，麦康奈尔宣布将在参议院任职40多年后，不参加2026年的连任竞选。
Sen. Mitch McConnell hospitalized with “flu-like symptoms”

Washington — Sen. Mitch McConnell checked himself into a hospital on Monday night “after experiencing flu-like symptoms,” a spokesman for the Kentucky Republican said Tuesday.
The spokesman, David Popp, said it was done out of an “abundance of caution” and McConnell’s “prognosis is positive.”
“He is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving,” Popp said. “He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”
The 83-year-old senator has not voted this week, but did vote Friday on passage of a massive package to fund the remainder of the government.
During Friday’s Senate session, McConnell spoke on the floor for several minutes about the full-year defense appropriations bill.
McConnell, a childhood polio survivor, has faced several health scares in recent years. In 2023, he was hospitalized with a concussion after a fall and later appeared to freeze in two separate instances. He suffered minor injuries in 2024 after another fall.
He announced last year that he would not run for reelection in 2026 after more than 40 years in the Senate..
