Sen. Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for an undisclosed medical issue, according to a spokesperson.

The 84-year-old was admitted to a hospital Sunday morning and “is receiving excellent care,” his office said.

It wasn’t immediately made public why he was taken to the hospital.

McConnell has suffered a series of health issues in recent years and was hospitalized for eight days in February for flu-like symptoms.
