Sen. Mitch McConnell remains unable to resume Senate duties after June hospitalization
Mitch McConnell's office said the Kentucky senator is still in rehabilitation and has not been cleared to return to the Capitol, with no timeline for his comeback.
Sen. Mitch McConnell's office announced on Monday that the Kentucky Republican remains in rehabilitation following a fall that led to a June 14 hospital stay and is not yet cleared to resume in-person work at the Capitol. The statement said McConnell is undergoing intensive physical therapy as directed by his doctors and has not been medically cleared to leave the rehab facility. The Office of the Attending Physician confirmed that he continues a rigorous regimen of multiple daily therapy sessions aimed at rebuilding strength and preventing future falls. The senator has missed the last 38 Senate floor votes, and the chamber is scheduled to be in session for the next two weeks before the summer recess. No specific date for his return was provided. McConnell, who is not seeking re-election and will retire at the end of the current Congress, also released a new photo with his wife, Elaine Chao.
