Senator Mitch McConnell Discharged from Rehab After Fall

On Thursday, U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, revealed that he has been released from a rehabilitation facility and will now focus on his recovery at home. The Kentucky Republican was admitted to the hospital on June 14 after experiencing a fall, later sharing that he was receiving physiotherapy. In his statement, McConnell indicated that he would adhere to a rigorous physical therapy routine at home during the state work period while remaining in contact with his staff and Senate colleagues. Although he did not provide a specific date for his return to the Capitol, senators are anticipated to depart Washington for the August recess soon, with no votes expected in the next five weeks. McConnell, who had polio as a child, has long recognized challenges with walking and stair climbing. The Office of the Attending Physician noted that he is undergoing an intensive rehabilitation program, including multiple daily sessions aimed at strengthening his body and minimizing fall risks.
