US Senator Mitch McConnell appears at Capitol following lengthy absence, hospitalization
McConnell arrived at the Capitol in a wheelchair and with what CNN described as a "noticeably thinner" appearance, but was able to make a few statements to the press while at the Senate.
US Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, returned to the Capitol on Monday, making his first public appearance since being hospitalized in mid-June after a fall. Arriving in a wheelchair, McConnell addressed reporters, stating, "I'm really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues." He acknowledged his recovery has been a "long and often frustrating process," complicated by childhood polio. McConnell also posted on X/Twitter, noting he is "still not quite back to 100%" but committed to being present for important votes. This hospitalization adds to his extensive medical history.
