- Senator Mitch McConnell's office and the Senate's attending physician released updates on his health following a fall in June.
- McConnell is undergoing intensive physical therapy multiple times daily to regain strength and reduce future fall risks.
- “I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders,” said McConnell, who lamented that he would not be able to attend the annual “Fancy Farm” event in Kentucky this year as a result of his recovery. “As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.”
- His childhood polio is noted as a significant factor impacting his current mobility and recovery.
- McConnell has not yet been medically cleared to leave the rehabilitation facility or return to his Senate office.
