McConnell’s Recovery and Senate Absence | US News

Senator Mitch McConnell remains sidelined in rehab after a June fall, still not cleared to return to the Senate at 84 — his polio history complicating recovery. Though absent from Washington, he’s staying engaged via staff meetings on defense, farm bills, and Kentucky issues. Critics, including Kentucky’s governor, urge him to update constituents on his timeline. He’s pushing hard through physical therapy, but medical insiders hint his condition may be more serious than reported — and he’ll miss his 40-year tradition of attending the Fancy Farm Picnic.
