Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) criticized Senate Republicans over the prolonged absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), arguing that the senator owes his constituents a public explanation about his ability to continue serving. 

“I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell. And while I do hope that he is getting better, I’ve known him my entire life. I wish him no harm. I actually wish him good health. His boss are the people of Kentucky,” Beshear said on CBS News’s Face the Nation.
