Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 84, returned to the Senate overnight and voted, moving in a wheelchair — his first appearance since he fell at home in June and was hospitalized for about two months, according to N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig. "I haven't fully recovered yet," McConnell told reporters.
The return follows a long absence that began with a fall at his home in June. He was hospitalized for roughly two months, and for an extended period there was no information about his condition. In July, reports said he had been discharged from the hospital and was heading home after a stay in a rehabilitation center.
McConnell's condition and recovery timeline remain a matter of public interest given his role as a senior Republican senator, though no further medical details were provided in the report.
