Senator Mitch McConnell Released from Rehab, Continues Recovery at Home
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, was hospitalized in June after a fall and a mild case of pneumonia. He was briefly unconscious but avoided broken bones, stroke, or heart attack. Recently released from rehab, McConnell will continue physical therapy at home and remain engaged with Senate work. His absence has drawn criticism, including calls from Kentucky's Democratic governor for him to prove his capacity to serve. Some social media users have demanded video proof of his recovery, as he has not appeared publicly since the incident.
