WASHINGTON – Sen. Mitch McConnell announced on Aug. 6 that he was discharged from a rehabilitation center, 53 days after he was rushed to a hospital and began an extended absence that raised speculation about his health.
“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff," McConnell said in a statement.
“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important
Senate business.”
This is a developing story.
