AOC calls on McConnell to disclose health or resign

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated Mitch McConnell should provide a health update or resign, citing lack of transparency.
Ocasio-Cortez emphasized public officials have an obligation to inform constituents about their ability to serve.
McConnell has been absent from Congress since his hospitalization in June 2026, with limited updates from his team.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear also called for clear communication from McConnell about his ability to serve.
Ocasio-Cortez noted narrow congressional margins make McConnell's presence crucial for votes.
