Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has officially been discharged from the rehabilitation facility where he has been recovering for nearly two months following a health episode. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican is now heading home, where he plans to continue an "intensive regimen of physical therapy" during the upcoming Senate recess.
McConnell's discharge comes just as the Senate is preparing for its lengthy five-week break, which is set to begin on Friday. His absence from Congress began almost two months ago, raising concerns about his health and leadership. While he won't be returning to Capitol Hill immediately, his plan to work from home and continue physical therapy indicates a steady path towards full recovery.
In a statement, Senator McConnell confirmed his departure from the facility, stating that he is following his doctors' advice for continued rehabilitation. This development provides a clearer timeline for his return to regular duties, even as he prioritizes his health and recovery from his residence. His office has assured the public that he remains engaged in his legislative responsibilities as he recuperates.
