Senator McConnell stated on Monday, “I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June.”
This week, Senator Mitch McConnell returned to Washington, D.C., and participated in legislative business for the first time since he was hospitalized in June.
“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues. My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier,” Senator McConnell stated on Monday. “I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me.”
“Elaine and I are very grateful for all the continued well wishes from our fellow Kentuckians, and I’m glad to get back to more of business as usual on their behalf this month,” the 84-year-old senator continued.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Senator McConnell’s continued recovery from his illness and injury.
- For members of Congress to be transparent regarding their health and ability to serve their constituents.
