McConnell update says he is not yet cleared to return
McConnell remains in rehabilitation after a fall and pneumonia, and the Office of the Attending Physician says he is still not cleared to return.
- On Monday, Sen Mitch McConnell announced he remains in intensive rehabilitation after a June fall and will not attend Saturday's Fancy Farm picnic in Kentucky, with the Office of the Attending Physician confirming he is not yet medically cleared to return to the Senate.
- The OAP reported McConnell maintains multiple daily physical-therapy sessions designed to rebuild strength and reduce fall risk. His childhood polio remains a significant factor in mobility, preventing medical clearance to leave the rehab facility.
- McConnell has been hospitalized since June 14 after suffering a fall and a "mild case of pneumonia." He is working to regain strength through intensive physical therapy per his doctors' orders.
- Rep Morgan McGarvey, D-Louisville, and Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, criticized the lack of transparency, with McGarvey stating elected representatives owe constituents clear updates as the "bare minimum" expectation.
- McConnell sent best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic, stating, "I'm looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon" despite his current absence.
