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.”

      Lol it’s like letting your dog eat pizza and fried chicken when it’s on its death bed just so they can have some nice moments before the end. Maybe the dog wants to keep playing fetch but its joints aren’t capable anymore, don’t let it play fetch! Stick to pizza!
