Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was seen for the first time in public in months on Monday as he posted a statement on social media saying he would return to the U.S. Senate to cast a vote.
“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” wrote McConnell in a statement on X, adding:
My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me.
Elaine and I are very grateful for all the continued well wishes from our fellow Kentuckians, and I’m glad to get back to more of business as usual on their behalf this month.
McConnell’s prolonged absence from the Senate has sparked fury on both sides of the aisle and reignited the debate about term limits and America’s aging political leadership.
CNN reporter Annie Grayer captured footage of McConnell leaving his home in a wheelchair soon after McConnell’s statement was posted. “New: Sen. Mitch McConnell was just seen leaving his home in Washington, DC, for the first time after a three-month absence from the Senate due to health issues,” Grayer posted to X.
UPDATE: McConnell was seen on the Senate floor shortly after leaving home:
