Senator McConnell Goes Home After Long Recovery

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, left a rehab center on August 6, 2026, after 53 days away from the Senate. He fell on June 14 and developed pneumonia — a serious lung infection. His office only revealed the diagnosis this week. McConnell will continue physical therapy at home. Kentucky's governor, Andy Beshear, had publicly asked for more honesty about his condition.
