McConnell could return to the Senate on Sept. 14, GOP lawmaker says
Comer said staff hope McConnell will return after rehab, but his office has given no public date for his comeback.
- Senator Mitch McConnell has remained out of public view for 80 days since his June 14 hospitalization, missing 60 votes in Congress on matters from Iran war powers to Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation.
- Following his June hospitalization for a fall, McConnell was discharged from rehabilitation on August 6 and planned to continue intensive physical therapy at home, where he remains recovering.
- A heavy security presence including unmarked SUVs and Capitol Police remains stationed outside his Washington residence, yet his office has provided no updates on his recovery since early August.
- Republicans hold 53 of the Senate's 100 seats, making his return critical when lawmakers reconvene September 14; House Oversight Chair James Comer said staff hope he will attend.
- Official timelines for his return remain unconfirmed, as the senator's prolonged absence has fueled speculation about his health and calls for greater transparency from party colleagues.
