McConnell Homebound but Still Influential | Tucson News

Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from the hospital and is now recovering at home after a fall in early June, with physical therapy underway. His absence has already disrupted Senate business — notably stalling a key farm bill due to his required vote — underscoring his indispensable role. McConnell remains engaged with staff remotely and thanked medical teams and well-wishers for their support. His wife, Elaine, echoed those sentiments.
