Update From Senator Mitch McConnell
August 6, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today:
“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. 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.
“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.”



When he finally goes “in front of” tv cameras - he’s going to be many hundreds of feet away in dark sunglasses and when he waves stiffly and oddly - it’ll be clear that his aides are Weekend at Berne’s-ing him.
