The Lexington Herald-Leader reports:

Sen. Rand Paul said he doesn’t understand why people are demanding Sen. Mitch McConnell to release more details about his health condition as he continues his recovery. McConnell, 84, was discharged from a rehabilitation center Aug. 6 after being hospitalized June 14. McConnell said in an Aug. 6 statement he will continue physical therapy from home during the state work period and work with his staff on Senate business.

“I’m not sure I understand it,” Paul said of speculation on McConnell’s health, talking to reporters in Frankfort Tuesday afternoon. “To tell you the truth, he announced a year ago he wasn’t running. Everybody knows that he’s gotten older. He’s had some falls and had some things. And anyone who has a relative that’s gotten older, it happens to all of us. I don’t know why people are (clamoring) for more details.”
