Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office shared an image on Sunday night to address ongoing inquiries regarding his health. The photo depicts the 84-year-old senator from Kentucky smiling with his spouse, Elaine Chao. He is pictured holding what seems to be the Washington Post Sports section from that day.

Despite the intention to quell rumors, the release of this image has incited further online conjecture about his condition. Observers continue to speculate about his well-being and the authenticity of the photograph.
