Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office says the Kentucky Republican has been released from a rehabilitation center and will continue his recovery from home.
“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home,” the senator said in a statement released by his office. “Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.”
McConnell, 84, has been absent from the Senate since his office said he fell at his home in Washington in June. The senator spent roughly four weeks in hospital care and then went to a rehabilitation center in mid-July to continue physical therapy, according to his office.
