Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announces that he has been discharged from the rehabilitation center where he was undergoing physical therapy after a fall earlier this year. Multiple outlets report that McConnell was released on Thursday to continue his recovery at home. Several sources note that he was hospitalized on June 14 (or mid-June) following the fall, and that he has been absent from the Senate for nearly two months. After the initial hospitalization, McConnell was transferred to a rehabilitation facility for an intensive recovery regimen, which included physical therapy. On discharge, he says he plans to continue recovering at home and does not indicate an immediate return to full Senate activity. Some reporting also describes his recovery as resuming from home work. The announcement includes statements thanking supporters and noting his wife, Elaine Chao, as part of the family’s response to the recovery process. Overall, the coverage aligns on the timeline: the fall, hospitalization in mid-June, rehabilitation stay, and discharge on Thursday to continue recovery at his residence.
