Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has said he received two calls from different agencies incorrectly suggesting that Republican Senator Mitch McConnell had died while he was in hospital. Speaking in an interview with journalist Katie Couric, published on YouTube on Thursday, the Democratic governor said he had been contacted by two agencies, although he did not identify them or say when the calls were made. “In fact, I’d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he’d passed,” Beshear said.
