Senator Mitch McConnell (84) was released from a rehabilitation center after a hospital stay that began with a fall in mid‑June, and he announced that he will continue his recovery at home. The move follows weeks of absence from the Senate that had sparked speculation about his health.
According to US news | The Guardian, McConnell made the announcement on Thursday, saying he had been discharged from the rehab facility and would now be home‑bound. NBC News also reported that he was discharged from the center following his hospitalization, while the South China Morning Post quoted the senator himself saying he has been released from the rehab centre.
McConnell’s sudden fall and subsequent medical leave left a void on Capitol Hill and prompted widespread speculation about the senior Republican’s physical condition.
