Senate reconvenes Monday as Mitch McConnell's return date remains unknown
Senate leader Mitch McConnell continues recovering from a June fall, with no confirmed timeline for his return to Capitol Hill as the chamber prepares to meet on Monday.
The Senate is set to meet on Monday, but Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has not disclosed when he will resume duties after a June fall and subsequent hospitalization. The 84-year-old lawmaker was treated for injuries and pneumonia, spent time in a rehabilitation center, and returned home last month. His communications team said he remains engaged with Senate business while recuperating. Kentucky Congressman James Comer said he expects McConnell to return soon, but no specific date has been provided. McConnell's health history includes childhood polio, a concussion in March 2023, and previous falls that caused injuries and brief absences from work.
