WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky says he’s been discharged from a rehabilitation center and will continue his recovery from home.
He disclosed weeks later that his hospitalization was the result of a fall and said he was undergoing physical therapy.
McConnell, 84, gave no specific date for his return to the Capitol, but senators are expected to soon leave Washington for the traditional August recess.
McConnell had polio in his early childhood and has long acknowledged some difficulty walking and climbing stairs as an adult.
The committee’s chairman, Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas, said he spoke with McConnell this week about the bill.
